Diesel will remain the fuel of choice for long-haul truckers over the next years because:

• Max 275-mile range (5 hours of highway driving)

• Recharge time is 90+ minutes, that is, if you can find a charger. There are horror stories about how long it takes to get the electric service.

• Battery weight reduces the payload by 7,000-10,000 pounds.
• A battery Volvo tractor costs $470K vs. $135K for a standard truck (I think the $135K is too low)
