Electric trucks weigh 10,000 lbs more than diesel, reducing payload capacity by 10k lbs, and lack charging infrastructure for long-haul routes, making it impossible to deliver customer loads on time.

No electric truck on the market can match the payload and range of diesel trucks for flatbed long-haul operations; charging infrastructure along routes like LA to Seattle is nonexistent.
