Remember that time Elon said he was making a semi-truck? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Anyway, here's a real company making a real-life truck.
Up to 600km range.
20-80% fill in 50-85min
six-speed transmission
13-tonne axle
GCW of up to 48T with payload of 28T.

These are the things we need to be doing for those โ€œlast mile" applications where electrified (catenary) rail is not possible.

The preview doesn't seem to be happening on the Inside EV website so I added a screenshot.

Here's the actual Volvo product page with a ton more details, pictures, video etc.
