There is no question that the electric motor is the future.
The only question is that how do we transport the power for it, currently it's batteries but in the future it might be something else.
I'm personally wondering why more companies don't do range extender trucks for long hauls. Electric drivetrain with insane torque and long maintenance intervals. Add a small to medium sized battery. Plug in a diesel generator that can always work at 100% optimal RPM to produce maximum output to charge the battery.
