That magnetic induction charging embedded in lanes in roads is really interesting and I didn't know about it. Thank you!

To be fair, 350 is low. Don't semis vary around 150 gallons of fuel capacity? There will also be a balance to update roads vs choosing rail in a multimodal logistic chain. Maybe the smaller EV range would be appropriate there for last mile. Anyway, I know it's complicated but I sure hope we solve this urgently.

Tesla initially had a battery-swap feature at its earliest Supercharger stations, but no one used it. For consumers, the recharge time was good enough even then.

Long haul trucks will probably use it.
