About half of U.S. truckers own thier own rigs, europe has fewer owner-operators. Do you want to start by throwing out half the domestic market?

- ajross 4y agoPretty much, yes? I mean, EV trucks are going to start out limited to fixed routes with known charging facilities. They require more expensive capital outlay and have probably-cheaper-but-very-different maintenance regimes that will benefit from commonality more than "just another diesel tractor" would. So I'd say yes: absolutely sell to the fleet market first. Individual truck owners will come along (likely from the used market) as the facilities evolve.
