Make a mental note of how many different kinds of trucks you see every week.  Garbage, delivery, industrial, construction, that one that sucks leaves off the side of the road during Autumn, etc.  Some of those companies haven't even thought about electric yet.  This will be interesting.

Garbage trucks are a huge win.  They spend most of their lives at stop and go, and the neighbors will love electric actuators instead of the noisy ones in use.

Stop and go traffic...totally agree!  Now we just need some company to make them.  I have no idea who makes these kind of industrial trucks now, but I fear they aren't some technological powerhouse.

I don't know about garbage trucks, but local delivery and USPS trucks would be perfect uses for electric power. (Although there is no chance the USPS could afford to replace their old jeeps with new EVs, unfortunately.)
