1) electric trucks are more efficient than ICE trucks, so cut your overall energy costs by 2/3 to 3/4. 2) beauty with electric drivetrains is that virtually ANY sort of power generation. If we're talking a bunch of recharge sites in the midwest, you'll power them with windmills/solar that are right next door. In the south and southwest, solar farms right next door. Or some hydroelectric. Or some geothermal. You don't need to rely on the grid for everything. 3) tractor trailers can use a swappable battery system easily. You already see it in action when you see UPS trucks pulling multiple trailers. You have a trailer that's a battery (or a generator if you can figure out carbon neutral generation or hydrogen in god knows when), but you DON'T need to fast-charge everything. So a tractor trailer pulls in, unhitches spent battery trailer, and hitches up and plugs in a pre-charged one. The trailer battery can also be shaped to function like an aerodynamic rear foil to increase the overall efficiency, and maybe even function as a stabilizing rear drive motor. Better battery tech comes in? You don't need to worry about replacing the batteries in the tractor, you just phase in and out the trailer batteries. 4) aviation will be on synthfuels for long-haul trips for the foreseeable future, even I will admit that. But short hop commuter flights will absolutely be electrified, the "fuel cost" savings will guarantee that, especially once carbon taxes finally are enacted.
