Cool stuff, but as with anything electric; battery range and charge time are always going to be the holdouts. Especially for trucks; who commonly go 400-800 miles a day. And time is money: if they can't recharge completely in the time it takes for a normal break they're not going to want to do it.<p>The article mentions short hauls and local freight, but even so, 100 miles is pretty limiting to those figures, even with a single-operator day-cab setup.<p>Torque-wise, electric makes a ton of sense, even if it's a hybrid.
