In 10/20/30 yrs, when they make duallies with 1000 kWh packs and 10 min charging, we go 100% electric. Simple as that!
They should have 2000 kWh to do it comfortably.
600 miles is 10 hrs straight at AVERAGE of 60 mph. With 1000 kWh that's 100 kW a average, or 134hp. It takes a LOT more than 134 hp to move 80,000 lbs at an average of 60 mph (including hills).
Even with a 2000 kWh battery that's only 270 hp. Barely enough to maintain 60 mph on perfectly flat ground.
