The article says 500 mile range even with a full payload (2,000 more pounds allowed for EV truck than diesel truck).

I guess that's possible but only if it has a Stacey Abrams sized battery. LOL It says it charges in the megawatts, but, wow!, it'll probably have to have a 300mWh battery capacity. So even charging at 5mW it would take 60 hours to charge it. That's a lot of logistics to work out. Like maybe a charger at the loading docks to charge the truck while the trailer is being unloaded and loaded (since the truck is sitting still anyway for a while). And that's just charging one truck on site. If 4 or 5 trucks have to charge simultaneously, we're talking about a large capacity electrical system to get the power to that site.

Stuff like this floors me on why they think this is do-able. And I happen to like my EV car (as well as my ICE pickup).

While charging, the truck drivers can Tweet. Good use of their time.
