This is already true today with 5% of cars but only 1% of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles being replaced with their fully electric variants. This creates a structural imbalance in fuel demand: lowering gasoline consumption far faster and to a much greater degree than the demand for diesel fuel.

I recommend you reread that blog post. It's arguing something else than you perhaps think it's arguing.
