For sure. Electric trucks, vans and semis are probably less exciting than consumer models but could make a huge difference in reducing vehicle emissions. And once the business case is proven, you could see whole fleets turning over not for the eco-cred but for the dollar savings. Government could play a role in financing some of these deals or switching municipal fleets though I think the main problem right now isn't really access to capital but supply constraints until a few models establish dominance in the market.
