Charging Infrastructure Fast charging stations are still not widespread in many regions, so fleet owners must plan charging carefully.
Payload vs Battery Trade‑Off Heavy battery weight slightly reduces the maximum payload compared to diesel trucks of similar weight class.
Charging Time Even with fast charging, time required to charge is significantly longer than refuelling with diesel.
Lack of Fast Charging Network in Remote Areas Especially outside major urban corridors, fast DC chargers are not always available.
