Good point, and also kicked off electric semi-trucks and pickup trucks:
> Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles account for less than 5% of the vehicles on the road but produce over 20% of the emissions from the transportation sector, which currently accounts for more than one-third of U.S. green-house gas emissions.
Most of the Amazon Prime trucks in my area (Hillsboro, OR (Portland Metro) are now electric Rivian, and those things are running probably 20+ hours a day.
