I'm watching this rollout with a lot of interest. It seems to me to be a very good application for electric power. Range limitation is based not only on energy capacity but laws surrounding driver stints. Known start and end points make for easy, practical recharging and tractor swapping processes. Electric semis could everything but the 'last mile' of hauling, and in many circumstances such as warehouse destinations they may even do that. Pretty exciting, in a nerdy kind of way.
