Even though he said Semi, I don't think he meant an interstate tractor-trailer. I expect to see a replacement for the typical urban box truck, that is used to make local deliveries.
1. It's local, so it's always near a charger
2. They're smaller, so easier to build in their existing factory space
3. Possibly the biggest perceived win for the environment, as people wouldn't see exhaust soot anymore right outside their window
4. Stoplights - the box trucks spend more time accelerating from a light, so they need torque. Something that electric motors have from a dead stop.
