>>I've said that e-v tech is cheaper
Also, we keep talking about how truck driver jobs are threatened, but currently, it's actually a challenge for companies to find qualified drivers. With our hills and twists and turns, lots of professional drivers are not "qualified." They don't even know how to downshift on the hills. I have multiple times seen trucks with the brakes on fire.
These trucks, because of the electric power train and braking system, I think it will take a lot less skill to drive, opening the pool of drivers for urban and mountain routes where shifting and braking are hard. And cut down on repairs like for brakes on fire
