Well in fully HD trucks and commercial vehicles. I believe they will go the way trains have already gone. To a diesel/electric hybrid. That is till battery tech and charge infrastructure grows.
I would think you are right. And it will be a regional development. Main corridors before secondary routes etc. One corridor that has finally been funded for fast charge for personal vehicles is the corridor form LA to Vegas. I think the timeline is less than a year to completion consisting of 4 Chademo stations. I think the priority was getting I5 done from Canada to Mexico. Anyway, rumour has it that some thought to future heavy vehicle transport was considered in the planning. eg, longer vehicle and large current capacity power drops etc. We shall see. I would think that is a few years away but nice to know it was a consideration. In the short term it will be nice to have the charging station access for us EV drivers though. Right now the EV community kinda has to rely on campgrounds for good level two charging and there is no fast charge capability for us non Tesla owners. It will be nice when that is done next year.
