The amount of energy needed to fast charge just one semi(let a lone a whole fleet) in the 30 minutes that Tesla states is huge or even over night is a lot more than places a long these major routes can handle.
EE friend of mine did the calculation, I accept his calculation.
To charge a semi given Musk's data of charging to 80% in 30 minutes on just one truck, would require 1.2 MW. Just ONE charging station.

When towing my 5er, I find many truck stops will have a dozen fueling stations, and most if not all are occupied or there are trucks waiting.
