I’m all for an electrified future, but until battery weight-to-energy density improves, I believe we need efficient, blended solutions that get us to the future in practical steps. As I understand it, diesel generators run rather efficiently at a consistent RPM. Would a diesel generator powering a small battery bank be a better solution than all-electric on semi trucks?

Running the engine using green energy sourced hydrogen would be a logical way to manage some hard to abate transport issues. I’m thinking specifically about trains and ocean freight. I think the battery solutions that either exist now or will exist very shortly will overcome the semi truck hauled freight issue. Particularly battery swap ideas such as https://www.januselectric.com.au/ .
(There’s many others doing similar and arguably better versions of this too)
