    There are one (big, depending on how you look at it) downside, payload, the maximum gcwr is 48 or 60 tons depending on setup. And electric trucks are heavier than their diesel counterparts so the payload goes down. But as longhaul trucks usually aren’t fully loaded weightwise it might not matter. But a big downside to the heavier baseweight is the axleweight which also becomes a problem in this video. But electric trucks are still the way forward, as he also shows in this video, they are a perfect fit for the current rules on drive/rest time.
