I tend to agree. But those with deeper pockets may get something like Tesla’s baby semi. That would work. Depending how people tour the charge time might not be an issue. Wouldn’t be for us. Then again. A long day on the road in the Motorhome for us is 600 km.
Just sayin.
If we're willing to do a lifestyle change, like adapting to Euro / Aussie "caravans", then a 200 kWh tow rig could work.
I'd imagine a 4000 lbs folding travel trailer (same height as the truck), will push power requirements below 50kW. That's 4 hour or ~280 mile range @ 70 mph. Drop cruising speed to 55 mph and we may squeeze out 350 miles.
Then, as long as you stay in an RV camp, you'd have roughly 4kW of charging power. Stay 2 - 3 days and you can travel again.
But getting North Americans to accept a smaller trailers and 55 mph speeds would be the hardest part...
