I'm saying i stop to charge and do other things at the same time, like going to the toilet, having some food or whatever i want to do. I mean i don't even need to stop and refill specifically since it's all done whilst I'm doing other things, like sleeping at home or watching a film at the cinema.

Meanwhile you are still at the pump. I'm in and out having done what i need and off whilst you are still having a shit after spending that time at the pump.

Except as i said, I'm not stopping to refuel at all, i have no need to. The only time i would is on long road trips where you need to stop for things like toilet and food.

And if you need to go 20 miles it doesn't matter if you can go further. As long as 80% gives you the range you need, why does it matter that it's not "full"?

I don't think it weighs 44t.

44t is the maximum total loaded weight for a lorry in the EU. (Vehicle plus load)

Here it describes it as a 44t lorry which means it's classed as a vehicle that can go up to that weight, bearing in mind that there are different licences you need to get as you go up weight limits.

I think the article has misunderstood what Renault mean when they call it a 44t lorry. If the cab alone weighed that, it would not be able to carry any load.

I'm assuming they only supply the cab so they can't give a load capacity beyond 44t, since they won't know the trailer weight.

I'm pretty certain the article OP has linked had misunderstood what Renault mean when they say it's a 44t lorry. This refers to the total load plus vehicle weight maximum, which is a maximum of 44t in the EU.
