It seems that shipping trucks are more ripe for EV adoption than consumer vehicles with centralized fleet infrastructure for charging, and capacity for multiple/larger batteries on board trucks. Not sure why there hasn't been more activity on this, but with Amazon's rumored entry to logistics it could be a chance for a new approach.

Yes, but the bottom line is always the cost. When EV is cheaper it will happen.
