That’s going to be the big stumbling block to wagons. The only thing I can find is this from America and it’s not good reading for the environmentalists

I spend my nights on the A1 and M1 doing around 430miles at 44 ton. For this job electric is a total non starter. One of the places I go has an electric 18 tonner but it can only carry 8 and is only used on round trips less than 80 miles.
If they could get over the weight issue, the only way for it to work in our industry is if they did a full battery swap in your 45 minute break time, but as it stands if your not in a services by 5pm you’ve no chance of parking so there would need to be serious infrastructure put in place, and the locals would be banging on the planners doors to reject any application.
So Derv will be here for a long time yet !!
