Reply to comment by BlaineBMA in Renault's heavy electric trucks are now available to order by Sorin61

In Europe semi drivers can drive a maximum of 8 hours a day. So the range doesn't have to be incredible, it just has to be sufficient.

Many trucks make use of multiple drivers. Couples for example. Alternatively, swap drivers like airplanes swap pilots. Doesn’t mean the truck needs to be idle. Time is money.

In Europe? I used to drive around Germany quite a bit and I've literally never seen that ever

That's true in North America but in Europe they don't have very large cabs. Regulations prevent things like sleepers so you usually only see drivers driving for an 8 hour day.
