Electric vehicles just wouldn't work for the supply chain, they aren't practical for cross-country or international shipping. Maybe someday, but we're still a long way off.

EVs have their purpose for some supply chains. Long haul is probably better positioned for Hydrogen Fuel Cells. All they hype is on EV but the bigger push is towards zero emissions fleets which will incorporate a wide variety of technologies.

Yeah. They need a couple of spare batteries if they want to ship internationally. But maybe in the near future.

I agree with you. I like the idea of using EVs for long hauls. It's just that they are not practical and sustainable.

Probably a decade from now. They need to plan this through if they want it to work successfully.

Exactly. The major problem would be sustainability. How sustainable is it to use EVs for long hauls?

I get your point, OP. And I think you have a point. They're not really practical, especially for cross-country.

That is true! We still have a long way to go. Unless they utilize every resource they have to make this happen as soon as possible.

Another issue would be its sustainability. Would it be sustainable? I don't think so.
