Also truck drivers have to take periodic rests anyway.

Or just have them charge overnight slowly when the driver is asleep. A single basic 100 KW DC charger would suffice to do it in 6 hours.

Assuming they can get to a charger. Lots of trucks pull up in laybys, instrustial estates and other random locations so the driver can sleep, and there's strict laws around how long a driver can drive for.

Maybe existing petrol stations would pivot to being more like truck stops, where trucks can stop overnight and charge.

Truck stops with multiple 1MW chargers are pretty rare, but the infrastructure can be built in time. 100kW is a challenge in the numbers that would be used for overnight charging; again, it’s just time and investment.

These are European long haul vehicles which are different than for example Australian or North American long haul - the trips are much shorter. Expectations would have to change, though that’s probably a good thing for safety.

But these trucks will rack up millions of miles - rapid charging is not good for the pack.

Scotland, mid-wales, lot of places in rural England? There's strict laws around how long drivers are allowed to drive for, so driving a couple of hours out of the way might not be an option.

Something trucking has, that non-trucking does not, is enforced rest stops and breaks.

If you don't sit in a random layby, you rest at a charging point, the "waiting around" to charge isn't a detriment. Because as a trucker you have to sit around and wait for amount of time anyway.

*I can't be arsed getting into arguments and different countries and their waiting times. I just know around europe mandatory rests are necessary.

That's awesome!
