The heavy truck maintained high speeds along the entire route, including the steep Skyline and Governess hills near Goulburn, where diesel trucks usually struggle and completed their journey 25 minutes faster. The truck was also 84 per cent lower in energy costs compared to a diesel truck.

And battery technology is in the nascent era of development compared to ICE vehicles. If people want profuctivity gains try doing something that saves the planet. Seems to work out pretty well, when someone actually has a go.
