‘This is something Telsa is once again championing with trials of its mega charger , which will give the Tesla Semi a range of 600km after just 30 minutes of charging ’ change as new models are launched and production comes online .
“ We expect that early adopters will mainly charge their fleet overnight at their own depots or warehouses . Thus , they will not be dependent on public infrastructure . The inability to charge while on the road means battery size needs to match daily range , which pushes vehicle cost up . However , once eTrucks become more mainstream , we expect the roll-out of supercharging infrastructure at distribution centers and along the main highways , enabling long-haul ‘ refueling ’ along popular routes .”

While the consumer market will continue to grow as range improves and costs comes down , it ’ s likely the commercial market will grow more rapidly without this emotional connection .
