EVs face the classic chicken-and-egg problem. People won’t buy EVs today because there aren’t enough charging stations, and companies won’t build charging stations because there aren’t enough EVs to use them. Here's how it will impact truck driving:
One problem is that because of the limitations of battery technology, today’s plug-in trucks are unable to travel the long distances needed to haul goods cross-country. Right now, companies that have placed orders for or taken delivery of the handful of commercial vehicles in production mostly plan to use them for local deliveries, so that the vehicles can return back to their home bases to charge at the end of their shifts.
There’s also the challenge of finding the sheer amount of power needed to quickly charge a big electric vehicle. Afrom the energy company National Grid estimates that highways across New York and Massachusetts will need 71 high-capacity charging stations along highways by 2045, with most equipped to charge big electric commercial vehicles.
