It’s interesting that Nikola is actually saying up to 330 mi. range using a 778 kWh pack. They also have several disclaimers about factors that can limit it.
I still think 500 miles for the Semi is optimistic at best, especially after they went back to the 2170 cells. When Elon said 621 miles that was using 4680 cells. It’s going to need a 1 Meg pack at least to go 500 miles.
Doesn’t Tesla say 70% in a 30 min. charge so that’s only 350 under ideal conditions.
