If past electric buses are any example, you won't be seeing any team-driven battery-powered semis or even day cabs in places that have round the clock utilization. They basically spend about the same amount of time charging as they do driving, so for 12 hours of operation, you're looking at about 12 hours of charging.
One other thing about hydrogen - you can convert internal combustion engines to run on it, so you don't have to buy an all new fleet. Kind of a big concern if you don't want to waste money or if you don't like seeing thousands of tons of vehicles sent to the junkyard for no good reason.
Quoted for truth.
