I think this isn't a true Highway truck (Long Haul). It would make a great day truck and could be recharged every night. It could still be a regional truck. A company like Walmart that has regional distribution will be the most interested, since they tend to stick around in <500 mile radius. If you're long haul it is likely you will be running diesel.
There is also the fact to consider that truck stops aren't setup for charging. It would require a massive investment. Still very exciting and I can only imagine the range will increase over time.
- SECProto 6y agoI know a lot of national gas chains in Canada (petro-can, Irving) have put in electric chargers along the Trans Canada. They'll be a lagging source, but I expect they'll add charging infrastructure for the long haul truckers (while regional eg Walmart, grocery stores, are more likely to charge at the destinations)
