Electrifying heavy-duty trucks is essential if we’re to fight climate change and air pollution, but the pace of the transition has been painfully slow—many, many pilots, but few truly large-scale orders. However, the picture for 2024 looks brighter. The Tesla Semi has finally gone into production, and is hauling chips in California.
