The future of trucking is electric! Love this ride-along piece, and I love that the trucker found it easy to adapt AND saw the benefit to future generations.

Maybe someday we can all shop will a little less guilt about our transportation footprints.

Some companies are well on their way to transitioning their fleets to all-electric.

i strongly doubt but we will see ...

railroads are 19 times more efficient than cars and probably 8 times more efficient than trucks ...

barges, maritime transport is 36 times more efficient ...

(not talking of monetary efficiency of the religion of economics that is probably barely 5% efficiant, taking about energy, one can print money but can not print energy)

Alas, can't send a barge from Barstow to St. Louis. But I'd love to see more trains both for hauling and for transportation.

Why can't we have a train from LA to SF and LA to Vegas? People would take them nonstop!

@giamora That every delivery truck, and every construction service truck, aren't electric is getting infuriating. These are daylight operations, parked at night.
