Charging with electricity is approximately 2.5 times cheaper per mile than refueling with diesel.* Operators can see estimated fuel savings of up to $200,000 within their first three years of ownership. With remote diagnostics, over-the-air software updates and fewer moving parts to maintain, operators will spend less time at service centers and more time on the road.
Just imagine an EV truck on I-80 in California during a blizzard!
I ALWAYS knew that the Leftists intended to IMPOVERISH America, as they’ve been gunning for that goal for the many decades that I’ve been alive.
But I guess what surprises me is that they would hide their ambitions so effectively behind something appearing as altruistic as the ‘green movement’.
A trillion is not even close...the power has to come from somewhere.
Wind and sun ain’t it.
EV’s are just a wet dream that will harm all of us.
Trucking will never be electrified.

If the cost is estimated over a trillion than call it 10 trillion and take at a minimum 3 times as long as they estimated. Now tack on the cost to every consumer product made going up 60 to 70 % and you get the cost of EV trucking.
Anyone forcing climate change initiatives as a solution to man made climate change should be exterminated. Useless F’n idiots of which we have an abundance of.
Electric drive is inferior for “work” uses like heavy hauling, towing or off-roading.
This is going backward in efficiency.
Losing a day or two each way on a long haul to charge the massive batteries would affect profits of truckers and customers alike.
It won’t work. But the Democrats are good at screwing things up, blaming Republicans, and then trying to fix things with more ‘fixes’ that don’t work.
They’ll need 2 EV trucks to carry the load of 1 of the Diesel ones
Do we close our power plants before or after we change to EV?
The largest lithium find in the world was discovered in Oregon and Nevada which Biden promptly closed down.
Wouldn’t a diesel-hybrid (PHEV) make the most sense?
Not the Bee.
If they really must do EVs, let them do it for short intra-city trips. They really think it’s made by magic?
