Had to look it up, as I am busy with other duties now. 2,000HP ? I'll believe it when they star hauling 40K loads up the Grapevine at 55mph.
My Western Star had a 500HP N-14, and could usually beat everyone up a hill.

There is a Natural Gas/Electric long haul truck coming soon called the "Nikola". It basically functions like a diesel-electric train, and gets 1000 miles per fillup of Nat Gas.

Pretty sure that's how some [not all] of the GIGANTIC strip mine dump trucks work. Like this bad boy.

Honestly , it would not matter a bit if the Elio got 200 MPG . The Media , Hollywood and the administration would still condemn Elio as a Climate change contributor . The only transportation darlings are mass transit and rolling vibrators .
Seems negative to the Administration's ATVM Loan Program. I believe 75 mpg's is the minimum ATVM application requirement, regardless of the drivetrain.
