I don't think the technology is a problem. For example, Longbeach CA is
starting an e-tractor program. There are companies like BYD making them
right now. I believe the biggest hurdle is the drivers. At least here,
the drivers own their tractors and aren't willing to take that big a
loss to switch over right away. What would you do if you made a $100K 10
year investment ?

According to a colleague at the California Air Resources Board, tugs are one

If you know any of these companies, there is funding available. They should
apply immediately.
Seems pretty straightforward. I imagine, if there were enough money in it,
someone would be doing it. There are quite a few starting points. Electric
buses. The coming generation of highway electric truck tractors. Operational
electric ferries. Even airplanes might be considered a starting point. The
CyberTruck.
Wayne Alexander was doing tugs. I think to push airplanes around. That was
quite a few years ago and I don't know what happened to the project. Or, what
became of Wayne.
