Yeah it is great but currently they don’t have many of them installed, right? In the future it will be much more common and then the extra time for an electric truck compared to a diesel will be much less.
As with current public chargers, these will increase exponentially. Businesses purely looking at the accounting will confirm the numbers are in favor of this transition. Its already happening here in New Zealand.
I would have thought15 hours/day for charging should be enough? What am I missing in this equation?
In the south of Sweden there is a big push for fast chargers for heavy transport, but the work is hampered by the limited power available south of Gävle. North of that though, power is plentifull, so that at least, isn’t an issue.
The charging over night is more than enough to reach 100% but if you drive a truck made for city traffic on the highway during the winter it runs out of charge pretty quickly and you need to stop to charge it when you would just continue to drive if you were driving a diesel truck.
Thats cool to know! I guess its the e4 that has the best charging infrastructure?
Did the “tram line”-esque charging trial amount to anything? I imagine that would lower the charging time if you can charge while in motion. I cant remember the name of the trials nor find anything trying to google now
Yeah, the E4 is preferred over E45. Maybe the E6 in Norway is even better since Norway has so many electric cars but I’m quite sure that E6 is longer and it could be issues to go over from Norway to Sweden during the winter. If the weather is bad the roads from Norway to Sweden can be closed.
Are you thinking of the charging that some cities in the East of Europe have? Like this. As far as I know there is only a test track for that in Gävle or in Visby, one of the cities has the “tram-line” and the other has induction built into the road for charging. After searching I found this. But it is really short and I don’t even know if they still exist or have been removed. So no, it doesn’t help anything if you are driving from Copenhagen to Kiruna.
It will definitely help but there are many other challenges with the solutions in Gävle and Visby, much higher cost for building the road, creates limitation for extreme transports like the towers for wind power plants, wear and tear and probably many other.
It works to drive from Copenhagen to Kiruna at least, but with the charging it takes 1 day longer than with a diesel truck.
Megawatt charging for trucks takes about 45 minutes on a 600kWh pack

Thank you for the deep replies :)
