Not sure how this will compete with traditional long haul incumbents unless they can get battery swapping down. Also if they can find a way to keep the batteries and the efficiency up in extreme heat and extreme cold (truckers experience it all) then they will have something truly interesting on their hands. Otherwise, and this is unlikely, if they intend for truckers to do 200 - 300 miles on a charge and then hit up a special truckers only supercharger this isn't going to work.


If it is autonomous (which I still think is years and years away) then you just swap trucks.


I wonder if it's feasible to have swappable batteries. Consumers obviously wouldn't pay for that but businesses might.
