Analyst: Tesla Semi truck 2.1 years to recover the cost savings than diesel trucks Porter predicts that at such speeds, electric trucks will recover the extra cost after about 2.1 years of use, relative to diesel trucks.
But Potter also said that the future of electric truck return mode also need to consider other factors, in particular, some cost-related factors, for example, it is not clear how much money will need to replace the battery, whether the use of old trucks in the short-haul In addition, maintenance costs, the impact of extreme weather on performance and so have unpredictability.
In this regard, how do you see? Tesla Semi really all aspects of victory over diesel trucks do?
