Define "specialist scenarios"
The majority of freight moves under 250 miles per trip. About 73% by weight according to the BTS. So longer trips by truck - over 250 miles - are the exception not the rule. So what "specialist scenarios" are you referring to, since it obviously isn't relatively short trips that are the majority of use cases?
And before you answer, be aware that all-electric long-haul semi trucks have been successfully operating in Europe for years, so any reasons you might come up with why it can't or won't work are immediately scuttled by the fact that it's already being done.
