    Do you remember CNG clean fuel scam? How many truck parking spots were cut to install this now nonfunctional stations. Same will be with electrical chargers.

    It's not a new regime it's advancement in technology.

    New technology and mandates from the government are not the same.

    4 bucks a gallon, you must pay your fair share.

    I think electric cars are moving in any way, with or with out gov. The big semis I don't see that right away. Ups and fedex haul light weight so I could see that going electric. But a cement truck, that is off for a while. I think self driving is a bigger threat to otr.

    Self-driving is no threat, there will always be a driver in the cab.
