The Future of Supply Chain

Will electric “Semi” become the norm? Right now, my guess is that the electrification of trucks will revolve around the following:

Battery technology – not up to big rig standards – and progressing slower than expected. Recall that Tesla promised an electric Semi in 2019

The willingness of the government to subsidize
The ability to augment other sources of energy – like Hydrogen. Yard jockeys (see my note previously on Firefly), drayage, trash trucks, and the like can be effective under 100% battery power because of regenerative braking and their relatively slow speeds and short travel distances
