I do not think the time is right for electric semis. We need a few battery breakthroughs before it becomes reasonable.
Right now they have to carry around far too much weight and bulk in batteries, and take far too long to charge, and the batteries don't have a long enough lifespan.
Right now this whole effort feels performative. Its greenwashing.
Some day it will likely become very practical, but that day is not today.
