Psyshow did a great video on these... it's all about the road load capabilities...https://youtu.be/oJ8Cf0vWmxE
Batteries have weight, and trucks have a finite amount of legal road surface capacity. The truck could do the haul, but the cargo capacity would be seriously degraded, not economical with current battery twch.

Who knows... with the carbon footprint and the reduction in maintenance, the charge time could be an issue, but losing 10 tons of cargo capabilities could be the biggest issue...

And yet another non German diesel joins the US market.

Still quite a few CPOs out there
https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/cpo/inventory/zip-29229/class-E:SDN,GLK:SUV,M:SUV/fueltype-D Adjust the zip code in the link in to center the search where you are... I am curious, if this does blow up in MB’s face, are they going to force me to turn in my 2014 BT? What happened with VW/Audi, anyone on the board affected by this, did they force you to sell back your car or just give you an offer you couldn’t refuse. I’m hopeful a compromise can be worked out. I think the rules were made impossible on purpose so that there would be no reasonable way of complying, to force diesel out of the market. A shame. It really is a superior engine technology.
