> CA has the 2nd highest electricity cost in the country. No where in the article do they mention cost savings, nor end-to-end carbon footprint savings.

And diesel is approaching $8 per gallon. So ...

First, trucking inside the port has lots of idling. Electric trucks don't have that. That's a Divide By Zero error on pollution.

Second, trucking inside the port needs low speed torque. Electric trucks are superior at that.

Third, electric trucks seem to have better uptime. We'll see if that holds over time.

Finally, I'm surprised that some company hasn't made it a business to do electric trucks from the port to a transfer point out on the interstates and then hand off to diesel for long haul. I presume the whole "Subcontract All The Things!" of the trucking industry means the economics can't be made to work.
