Battery payload loss is becoming a structural constraint on 44-tonne electric HGVs. This analysis answers the main objections using RHA survey data, battery energy density trends and fleet economics.

For 44-tonne operations — where the two-tonne battery derogation does not apply — the economics of electric HGVs are materially worse than diesel. The problem is not energy costs alone: operators must run more vehicles and more miles to move the same tonnage.
