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. This appears to be nothing more than a gimmick under the disguise of “green” that does nothing but waste CA tax payer money. It’s all so tiring..

I couldn’t find how the electric trucks are reducing dwell time - what is it about gas that required longer dwell?
