Electricity in batteries isn't great for trucking, but it's going to win anyways.
Because it's far cheaper than diesel or hydrogen.
60% of the cost of trucking is fuel. A reduction in that provides a massive competitive advantage that will push out other trucks. Trucking is a highly competitive low margin business.
Green hydrogen uses about 3X the electricity per mile as a battery powered truck, it can never be competitive on cost. It may be better in every other way, but cost is primary.
