They will have to build some electric infrastructure, the way most EV owners do. The best time to charge a short-haul truck is while it is waiting to be loaded or while it is parked overnight, and both of those will need the operator to own chargers.

Operator owning charger also means markedly cheaper rates. .36c vs .08c per kwh as a crappy anecdotal reference near me. in the north east.

The $$ savings may make installing the infrastructure in loading/storage bays worthwhile.
