Electric trucks have huge batteries and will need super-fast chargers to "refuel" on the road, you can't just plug them into an ordinary outlet. (Well, I guess you can, you just literally won't get anywhere.)

The good news is that there's an emerging standard for this, so hopefully Daimler adopts it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megawatt_Charging_System

The remark I was responding to was clearly talking about private cars not commercial vehicles:

> the low hanging fruit remains the vast numbers of private vehicles not currently served by charging schemes. Those people are basically everyone who doesn't own a house with a garage where they can install the bespoke charger for their particular EV.
