That type of vehicle is ideal for electrification. Electric motors have maximum torque at zero RPM. A lot of haul trucks are already electric, and just use diesel to generate electricity for the electric motor.
I don't understand your skepticism about mechanics being able to service electric vehicles though. Why the doubt?

That Diesel engines are required to produce the electricity underscores that battery energy density is not comparable to petroleum products. Are you aware of someone with a machine shop having fixed a battery made of exotic minerals? I’m not.
