Electric VS Diesel

Of course when the Tesla Semi gets a similar comparison the results will be quite different.

These were interesting videos, hopefully, the Tesla Semi, is going to be able to deliver significantly more range than that International eMV. I haven't been keeping up to date with the F-150 Lightning, but pretty awesome to see it actually holding up pretty well against its diesel counterparts. Overall, insightful, thanks for sharing.

I believe the biggest issue with the International is they used a traditional ICE axle system and attached an electric motor to it, its A retrofit so to speak rather than a designed system for electric motor efficiency. Just my opinion of course

Agreed. I left a similar comment on the YouTube video about poor efficiency due to the compromises in powertrain design, which results in higher operating costs.

Would an electric motor for the rear axle give it a longer range
