The electric vehicle certainly has come a long way from the ill-fated EV1 sedan of the 1990’s, but questions still remain regarding the ability of an electric truck to perform heavy duty tasks, like hauling garbage. That concern has been put to rest by the waste management firm Republic Services. The company has just inked a deal with the startup Nikola Corp. for up to 5,000 battery-operated waste hauling and recycling collection trucks.
