Renault E-Tech T semi truck gets 600 km range for '25, logs 19 million miles

600km.... yeah but hauling how much weight?

Overhead Wires on long haul highways from distribution centre to distribution centre.

Battery for the last mile...

Or batteries need to be hot-swappable, or make them apart of the trailer.

Sitting in a yard charging while waiting for pick up.

What would be even better than overhead wires on long haul highways would be overhead wires over rail!

now that idea is just too crazy to imagine. it sounds too much like a technology of the future..

I was about to say if we keep going down the overhead wire route we’ll just end up reinventing the train

Rails preclude the "last mile delivery" though. A BEV lorry with a pantograph could do both.

And 600km is plenty range for last mile deliveries
