“looked up an all-electric semi. Kenworth has one that has an operating range of 150 miles”
Is that range for hauling a fully loaded trailer ???? We have already seen through various tests that electric battery range decreases rapidly with the more weight hauled. Decrease in range can exceed 70%, potentially turning the 150 mile range into 45 miles. Add in driving up steep hills and it gets even worse.
I figure it isn’t fully-loaded, and “depending on the application” is Kenworth’s way of admitting that the range is likely to be a lot less than 150 miles taking into account the load, terrain, and driving conditions.
