Is that implying that zero carbon has been emitted in the collection, transfers, and charging of the EV with said electricity? Yet none of that infrastructure was manufactured, installed, monitored, and distributed with zero carbon emissions. Neither was the EV truck parts manufactured with zero carbon emissions, or the batteries.
Please explain how these “Green electricity” EV trucks are even remotely environmentally safe, or preferable to clean diesel trucks.
