For my work I regularly have to fill the box of my 4x4 half ton truck and pull a 3500lb 6x12 enclosed trailer about 200kms one way. Once at my destination I’m parked for an average of about 3 hours with access to 110vac but no access to a proper charging station per say. I’m thinking I might get the stink eye from a client if I plug into their outlet to charge my truck.
Does anyone think there will be an all electrical truck available within this decade that can realistically meet my needs - ie 400km round trip, fully loaded and pulling a 3500 lb brick.
From what I’ve read, the second a trailer of any kind gets hooked up to a Tesla it knocks off over half of its range. I would expect the same would hold true for the Cybertruck in which case that ain’t going to cut it.
I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts as I’ve always been of the opinion that the industry went at it backwards by developing EV tech for tiny little cars that were already pretty fuel efficient rather than tackling the big guzzlers first.
