We have had a more efficient, faster, proven and reliable alternative for decades now.
Electric trains
No battery, no range limit, no charging time, higher topspeed, can go anywhere nonstop.
For the short haul to and from the trainstation, electric trucks/vans make sense though.
These aren't for long haul, they are for local and regional food delivery routes.

Nobody is making BEV trucks for long haul routes.
