If you're loading and unloading 20 times a day, you're doing local delivery and should probably be in an electric truck in the first place.
Sorry, but those don't exist in any appreciable amount in the US, unfortunately.
are you uninformed or simply lying? There are literally hundreds if not thousands in use today.

You're talking about delivery vans and I'm talking about semi's, big difference. Semi's are what move most of the freight in the US.
there are more ev semis than at any time before as well.
