I wonder what the future will look like for long-distance haulage. These solutions should be fine for trucks that always return to their depots within 24 hours, but what about those that are away all week? Haulage companies will want confidence that they can have their trucks charged anytime, anywhere.

in Europe there are fast charging hubs in all main highways. Maybe not every service station, but every other yes. I drove with my EV from north to south Europe 3 times and had zero problems. And about charging times: a toilet break and a coffee.

Also truck drivers have to take periodic rests anyway.

not in North America, you drive until you hit a bridge.
