Last mile seems a better application for EV since the speeds are lower and there's more stop and go. On the contrary, cross-country travel is the hardest nut to crack for EV trucking.
I don't know the industry lingo, but it seems the Tesla semi is targeting the mid-distance hauling, which is still a difficult problem to solve.
Will be interesting to be in traffic with these trucks that are capable of accelerating like a car. Used to be able to plan to pass a truck knowing it will be slow to accelerate. Would be annoying to not have enough power to pass on a straight section but then get slowed down in corners behind these rigs.
