Has anybody here seen pictures of the Nikola Motors' Badger electric truck? It looks a lot better than the Rivian and Tesla truck.

I drive a local delivery truck. I don't see long haul switching any time soon. Too much of the payload is eaten up by batteries and motors. Short haul/local delivery in "smaller" trucks seems like a no brainier depending on ROI.

What I'm really waiting to see is diesel-electric long haul rigs. Seems like an obvious answer. Big power on tap at all times. Any outside charging is a bonus rather than a necessity. You won't ever see trucks down daily for as long as it'd take to charge to full, and big chunks of the country don't even have charging stations with a high enough output for current cars let alone big rigs.

yeah, diesel-electric does seem obvious doesnt it. considering the downtime at rest stops that could be used for charging, j-braking and regenerative braking to charge might reduce noise emmision. Wonder why it isnt mainstream

When I say diesel-electric I mean like a train. Diesel generator driving electric motors, though in this case it'd probably be better to have it charge batteries and capacitors rather than always directly driving the motors.

Diesel Brothers are really pushing this truck. It looks good.

The last thing I heard about Hummer is that a Chinese company bought them. I need a ev truck that can tow and haul. Hummers have no bed and are too bulky for what it is.

Hummer ended up not getting bought by a Chinese company. I thought so too, but when I did a little research earlier this year, it ended up that the sale didn't go through for whatever reason. Hummer still American.

As for trucks & buses, looks like the government is pushing FCEVs which I also support for vehicles over EVs until there are battery swapping stations available.
