How would hydrogen fare for big (<-- keyword) trucks vs battery powered?
For ex. I read that you lose a ton of efficiency if you start hauling or carrying a heavy load.

A tesla converts nearly 100% of it's potential energy into kinetic energy, but "refueling" is not convenient as an F150; which converts something like 15% of it's potential energy into kinetic energy, but can hold a _ton_ more energy and refueled in minutes.
It's ok to be far less efficient if convenience to the consumer is increased, as long as the power source was carbon neutral.
F150 is kind of a small truck, in the world of work trucks. It should be fine as a standard EV for most contractors, etc.
We can also have things like extra batteries that one can rent and stick in your trunk for longer journeys or times when you don't have time to wait.

It's also ok if convenience to the consumer is decreased. Nobody is owned convenience.
