Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Everything We Know About Tesla's Semi Truck I wonder what the range is ?
Forum Discussion
Have designed up to 2MW (also good to 10,000HP electric motor) and confirm his calculation range
Even if any one charge station could muster that kind of power (the cables would be in the +500MCM gauge range or several +500MCM cables per phase) or buss bar but would still require some sort of flexible last few feet.
Best would be a battery change out as the refueling method and a solar farm of several acres dedicated to that refueling station..and/or...supplemented with windgenerators

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.
