@PaulWay@aus.social I'll ask my boss if he knows what a replacement for the truck I drive would cost. It won't be the price of an EV truck, but it'll be a floor for calculation.
Another argument strongly in favour of moving early is the used vehicle resale value. A company that switches now can get a good price for their old one. When the stampede begins, used diesels will plummet in price due to oversupply, and the payback time will shoot up.

@PaulWay@aus.social the truck I'm driving now (4.5T bare-chassis Isuzu) was bought new in 2013 for $38k. Interestingly, the insulated (but not chilled) box body cost about $20k. Boss reckons the whole-cost for a brand new one would be about $100k today. So whatever those $120k+ second hand trucks are, they're a different breed to what I'm running around in.
