If electric is so cheap, easy to use, convenient, provides good driving range, etc, etc, I think we would see a lot more commercial vehicles using them instead of a handful of tree huggers.

Heck, I had a jetta tdi that I would see 50mpg if I kept it at 60 mph on a flat highway. A tank of fuel would provide close to 500 miles of travel. The car cost less than 24k brand new. That's pretty cheap operating costs if you ask me.
Economy and efficiency are two different things
I'm talking about use of energy and losses from an engineering standpoint, not your wallet.
