Next decade? Try next year. The F150 Lightning will absolutely dominate the fleet truck space if it comes anywhere close to delivering the promised specs.

Assuming they have where to charge it

Irrelevant for fleet trucks, which travel relatively short distances compared to commuter vehicles and always stay at the company yard overnight.

A large charging network is really only relevant to regular consumers, and even that is more of a psychological reassurance than a strict requirement given measured consumer behavior.

I mean that the company would have to wire their yard to charge a fleet. One charging station at home is one thing, but 25 sounds like a much bigger project from an infrastructure standpoint
