Thanks. I wanted to highlight that even at 100% public charging, it is probably possible to reach price parity (with some negotiations).
Charging at the depot is likely almost always cheaper, but will require some investment.

Regarding costs: Mercedes estimates that a truck consumes 28 liters of diesel or 119 kWh of electricity per 100 km. In the UK, this translates to roughly £40 for diesel (at £1.40/L) versus £48 for electricity (at £0.40/kWh via providers like Milence).
While public charging is currently more expensive than diesel, this price gap is subject to change as fuel markets fluctuate and charging infrastructure scales up.
I don't know about the US, but there are a few options in the EU, e.g. by Volvo, Mercedes, MAN and DAF.
In total, these heavy trucks now have a EU+EWR market share of about 2%.
Heavy trucks over 16 tonnes dominate the EU market by volume. Out of approximately 254,488 total registrations (-5.4% year-on-year), 4,991 were battery-electric trucks, representing a 2% share. -- electrive.com
I've had to look this word up, I had no idea what it meant. But sure, lets use it for post brexit confusion
We are completely surprised.
Ford spricht von Vergünstigungen, „die eine kostenlose rechnerische Fahrleistung von bis zu 16.000 Kilometern pro Jahr ermöglichen“.
Das finde ich schon sehr spannend. Klar ist das nur für eine sehr kleine Zielgruppe relevant, aber dennoch sehe ich da Potential.
Ich bin selber "passives" Mitglied einer Energiegenossenschaft in Österreich. Ich bezahle 12 Cent + Netzgebühr für den Strom. Das ganze Geld kommt dabei direkt in der Region an, daher bin ich gerne dabei.
Vorteil in Österreich ist, dass man Energiegemeinschaft und regulären Stromvertrag gleichzeitig nutzen kann.
And it's not even close, Volkswagen sold 15% more cars than Tesla.
Similar approach here:
It doesn't take more than 10 seconds to scan a doc this way.
Norway usually sells 10-15k cars per month, but in December, sold over 35k new cars. [...] Overall car sales only numbered 2,218 cars in January.
A month where sales are below 20% of the usual sales isn't repreaentative.
Interessantes Detail: Der Plugin Hybrid ist teurer als der elektrische Astra.
Interesting idea to power the trailer, but I'm not really sure if this concept really pays off. It is an hybrid truck that needs to carry two different engines, both adding cost and weight.
