It’s a good thing if done right. But there is the risk of greenwashing going on if we don’t track the details.

Two things to consider: When someone announces a huge fleet of trucks being purchased, take note of whether they are upgrading the electrical facilities of their depots and on what timeframe.

Charging a fleet at a local truck depot that previously didn’t use much electricity is a nontrivial problem.

The shell game being played is that to meet some arbitrary/political deadline, they bring diesel generators on-site to charge the trucks.

Note also that trucks at a depot charge at night when solar power from the grid is not available.
