Well EV trucks solve both the problem of low speed, and the problem of poor efficiency. The main consideration then becomes turning around the truck as quickly as possible.

I wish I knew something about the trucking industry because I think EVs could be a gamechanger for short-medium hauling. Would be great to snatch up those contracts/routes that would most easily accommodate EV delivery.
