I work in the telematics/trucking software space. Many many many trucks travel less than 2-300 miles a day (Intermodal, dray, etc).

Not every truck driver is crushing miles every day, many operations are just between different modes of transportation or operating in same counties, etc.

What will be interesting is seeing how reduced "fuel" costs (electricity) will balance out with faster turn arounds (a truck can fill up in a few minutes, charging will take a long time). I could see fleets valuing either side depending on how they operate. Fleets reroute based on saving a few cents per gallon, so this could be great for the fleets that can afford to recharge overnight.
