Cummins managed to make it look like a truck. Good for traditionally oriented minds
I wonder if they plan to sell "powerpacks" of hybrid drives in envelope (mounting points, intakes, etc) of their current engines. It would be cool to keep the truck and change just powerpack.
Tesla is still miles ahead because they offer whole "ecology" - you drive Tesla car, you charge at Tesla charger, you will probably sleep at Tesla Motel near charging station. They already have the infrastructure, so they obliterated the worst enemy of adoption.
