An electric semi would easily get over the ranges here . In fact , easier grunt wise than a diesel . The issue would be their battery size and whether they can handle the large current draw during the climb .
On the downhill side they would put a significant amount back into the batteries thanks to regen braking .
There are already many electric trucks and buses coming to market so it will act as a test bed for the technology . Time will tell .
Change out battery packs didn't work for cars but strategically located ones might be practical for big trucks on some of the big interstate runs . Large solar and wind farms charging truck battery stations could become a thing I reckon .
