Yup...EV 18 wheelers will work beautifully in states like CO...NV...CA...MT. And for that matter they'd be great in Vermont too.

Just imagine an EV truck on I-80 in California during a blizzard!

“Just imagine an EV truck on I-80 in California during a blizzard!”

With a large truck, the weight of a sufficient battery might be a smaller fraction of the total weight of the whole rig, and thus battery size and weight would not be a problem.

Maybe a big rig could “recharge” by swapping batteries, with recharging of the idle batteries done during the day by solar-produced electricity, or just drive the trucks at night.

If truck electrification is done completely by private funds, I’m for it.
