Every comment here takes one
Every comment here takes one piece of completely wrong information and uses it as a reason why the Semi won't work. Don't you think if there was solid reason why it wouldn't work, it would've been addressed already?
You assumed that the semi would weigh an extra 34,000 pounds. Why? A 500 mile battery is less that 11,000 pounds. An electric truck doesn't have all the weight of the engine, transmission, fuel tanks, and all the other peripherals of running on diesel like urea injection and exhaust pipes. There's no torque on the frame and the truck is shorter, so that'll weigh less too. We're probably looking an extra 2 tons, not 17.
