I was curious about the Volvo electric trucks after seeing one the other week. The latest has a 600km range and can use that chonker plug to charge 60% in 40 minutes. (40 minutes being the mandatory driver rest time in the EU, but I didn't work out whether that's enough for continuous operation at highway speed, don't know the regulatory duty cycle for driver rest)

I checked, 45 minutes every 4.5h, from rated capacity you're getting 360km out of a 40m charge. 4.5h at 90km/h is 400km, so you're losing 40km (90 at 100km/h, ignoring efficiency) range every 4.5h, vaguely. Pretty cool! Assuming the rated capacity is vaguely correct for long haul driving.
