Lithium works across multiple shifts for a lot of users. It's not suitable (yet?) for larger trucks, but 5 ton+ trucks are a small % of the market and I'm not interested in them. Measuring the suitability of lithium against such a small proportion of the market is not an accurate reflection of its potential, and you will see that in the next 12-24 months as lithium truck sales ramp up significantly.

Amazon just ordered 1000 lithium warehouse trucks, literally last month. How have they concluded that hydrogen is the best value solution then ordered 1000 lithium trucks? Clearly, they believe there is merit in both technologies, for now.
