Reply to comment by TheFreakish in Renault's heavy electric trucks are now available to order by darth_nadoma

Germany is working on overhead power lines for trucks. If that works out and is retrofitted onto enough highways then 300km would easily be enough range to get onto the highway and off again, riding the rest of the trip on grid power.

I really support this idea. The pantographs can be retro-fitted for only a few thousand $, and can be used with both hybrid and electric trucks, and would obviously pay for itself in reduced fuel fees, so I feel this is a system which could easily be rolled out piecemeal, starting on major highways.
