Perhaps it's good for intra-city deliveries, but a hybrid would be best for longer hauls. Size the battery just large enough to pull the loaded truck up a long and steep pass, and allow it to regen on the back side. Size the diesel engine so that at peak efficiency, it's able to pull the tractor/trailer on flat ground and slowly recharge the battery.
Inductive charging under the highway will never happen. It's way too costly. We will see overhead power lines before we see inductive charging.
