My thinking is that if the pilot group of EV trucks show substantial lifetime operating cost reductions, the commercial sector will very rapidly make the transition.

Passenger vehicle sales may saturate the availability of home infrastructure such that most anyone that can accomodate EV charging will own one, but a substantial percent of the population would not have reasonable means to charge at home.
