- njarboe 7y agoWhat fraction of the total semi truck traveled miles are on those short routes?
- bobthepanda 7y agoAlso, what percentage of semi trucks are only utilized on these short routes? A big thing in fleets is flexibility, and if you're requiring a much larger fleet, or two fleets, to do the same job that's not workable in many cases.
- AnthonyMouse 7y agoThe range of the Tesla semi is supposed to be 500 miles. Others can be expected to be similar. That's enough that if you're even partially charging every time you stop to eat or sleep you'll never run out.
- sp332 7y agoA modern EV sedan can do 250 miles, but how far can that tech drive a semi truck? I'm guessing it's quite a lot less.
