Wouldn't a lot of the extra cost for the 33% more trucks get canceled out by each one getting driven that much less, so requiring less maintenance and lasting longer? Other than the part of depreciation that happens because of age rather than mileage/usage, what costs would remain?

[Spooky23]

No. Capital costs tend to be bonded, and infrastructure to support idle trucks is expensive.

You need parking spaces for 33% more trucks. There isn’t exactly land freely available for that in New York.

I'm not even sure depreciation matters with these anyway! Idk how much of a resale market there is. You might just run it into the ground and then scrap it.

Meanwhile, batteries are consumables for purposes of EU warranty. Yet they make up the most expensive part of an EV.
