Another advantage is the high technical reliability of the vehicles, which is rated even more favourably than that of conventional diesel trucks. Additionally, the high driving comfort and the resulting positive acceptance by drivers are widely praised.*

However, the article goes on to note that:

*Most surveyed companies view public charging for battery-electric trucks as an inadequate solution for several reasons. Many charging points are not structurally designed for electric trucks, while high public charging prices create an additional economic hurdle. Logistics providers are therefore calling for more charging points, additional space for truck charging, more affordable and transparent pricing models, and reservation options.*

*The 57 surveyed companies currently operate around 300 battery-electric trucks collectively. Moreover, 93 per cent estimate that battery-electric trucks will be extensively, standardly, or largely in use within their companies by 2030.*
