320km doesn't seem like a long distance for a truck, curious how that works in practice
- stavros 8d ago320km seems like a very long distance to go without a rest stop.
- _djo_ 8d agoIt's optimised for distance to and from the depot and in-city store locations. Presumably it charges at the depot while loading. Trucks have a lot more space for batteries, so with EV trucks it's all about balancing range and weight for the task. More range means less useful load.
- defrost 8d agoSome Australian electric prime movers (truck that pulls the load on trailers) are using a fork lift in / fork lift out swappable giant battery pack - 10 minute change over from truck to charging station, freshly charged unit back to truck.

- orwin 8d agoIt really depends on the context and the country. In practice, most people in my country live within 100 km of a commercial harbor (river or sea), so 320km for most foreign imports it seems enough. Grocery store chains have to be within 2 hours from the packing center, so for food too, 320km seems enough. Barely, but enough).
