This is nigh to impossible. That’s nonsense.

A 400 mile Ford F150 lightning with a 6000lb load loses 75% of it estimated miles. That uses a 2000lb battery.

A semi hauling 82k lbs will well over 20,000lbs of battery.

Hills and headwinds make a huge difference too. Batteries are the Achillies Heel and nothing but dead weight considering their low energy density.

The Tesla semi is not Ford. The Tesla semi is far more advanced and with much better batteries.
That's why Tesla sold close to 70% of EVs in America in 2021.
