In a perfect world, EV trucks would actually be more beneficial than diesel due to the instant torque an electric motor provides. However, the question is building a strong enough battery to power the motor. A battery that powerful is going to be crazy expensive and way too heavy.

Electric locomotives on railroads are much quicker and more powerful than their diesel counterparts. Thing is, they’re powered by an overhead catenary as opposed to batteries. Is California going to build catenary over all of its roads?
