Imagine the size of battery pack required to power an 18-wheeler that needs to cover 800 miles in a day, and how long it would take to charge it. Don't forget the number of such super-capacity chargers it would take to service the fleet nationally. Think also about heavy equipment used for construction, farming, and anything else that uses diesel. And think about the generating capacity that would need to be added to the power grid for all that.
We would likely do more for the environment by giving China truckloads of money to take their coal-powered electrical plants offline and replace them with a cleaner source.

Yup that's why hydrogen fuel cells are the way to go! We have to get off fossil fuels, we have no other choice!
