Or just swap out the batteries on the way. I think someone on here once suggested to do so at existing weigh stations in the US.

- twothamendment 5y agoSwappable battery packs seem like a good idea. It might even be faster than waiting to pump 100 gallons of fuel. I'm thinking existing truck stops would have a better chance of working than the weigh stations. let's leave the government it, they are barely competent at weighing a truck. Some trucks might not see a weigh station for a week. Some stations are nothing more than a pull out on the side of the road.
- jimkleiber 5y agoAh good point, I like that idea, especially as it utilizes that infrastructure and doesn't make them disappear when there's a transition to electric.
- mcguire 5y agoDoes the Tesla semi have hot-swappable battery packs?
- aurizon 5y agoNot as far as I know, but a standard may emerge, as there is not way that an interstate system can operate if they all had hot swaps for each maker of trucks. I am sure they makers will develop a standard if swapping wins this game.
