Not sure why this is getting downvotes, it seems like a blindingly obvious part of the system. As for power to the chargers and paying high premiums for surge loads, it's a real shame there's no technology that Tesla could use to accumulate and store power locally at stations with local storage capacity determined based on expected usage. For that matter, just take the flat frame/battery pack of the current cars and make them replaceable slabs on rails. Charge each one independently or swap them out, though that'd probably be a service thing instead since you probably want to keep those trucks on the road as much as possible.
