Efficiency has never been the problem. Cost has always been the driving factor behind technology adoption, and the highest efficiency solutions are rarely the cheapest.
BEVs are winning at the momemy not because they're efficient, but because the cost/benefit is finally coming out ahead due to advances in battery technology.
But BEVs don't fully cover all use cases. It is telling that the first commercial truck manufacturer to release a full electric truck has also invested billions into hydrogen. BEVs can certainly handle a lot of usecases, but continuous usage at high power levels isn't one of them, even at theoretical energy densities.
