I'm curious about the real range requirements for EV freight trucks. At least in Europe, there's very strong regulations for mandatory rest periods for freight truck drivers. It seems to me you would basically design the system including the infrastructure so the trucks end up on a charger during those rest periods, and therefore don't need a very long range battery unless it improves the economics.

I'm sure smarter and knowledgable people have done the numbers on this; I should go find a good source ...
