    Sounds a pretty good use case for an electric truck; low speeds with constant stop/start driving is well suited to electric vehicles and a known route means range is much less of an issue (just spec it with enough to cope with expected decline over its service life and you’re set). The harder part will be making sure there’s enough charging capacity in the depots to cope with a fleet of trucks, I would expect upgrades will be necessary for that.

      At least with them charging overnight they’ll get the benefits of low power rates. Probably wont even be worth shelling out for solar and batteries when its down in the single digit cents per kwh overnight.
