The round trip from electricity to H2 and back equipment would probably
cost as much as a 40-foot diesel pusher. The round trip energy loss is as
high as 80%.
How about getting a 4 motor Tesla truck and using it as a traction vehicle
instead of a towed? We would have to wait until 2023 or 2024 if we got in
line today.
