It costs money to run the diesel generator powering the charging station. A year ago there was a study on what it would require to have a typical truck stop for Tesla's electric semis. A 30MW generating capacity, with even a basic charging station using as much power as a town of 5000 people: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-14/tesla-s-electric-semis-are-coming-and-trucks-stops-aren-t-ready
Why the fuck are the charging stations running on diesel joke of a country joke of an electrical grid
It's an energy density thing, it takes a shitload of electricity to charge something huge to run very far, that's why petrol has such a grip on things. In a rational system you could create some sort of predictable, low-friction road where economies of scale could let you transport large amounts of freight and people quickly with less power, but car-brain hasn't come up with a solution yet. You either need massive capacity to accommodate all the electric trucks on demand, or a long wait to let them charge at a manageable rate.
Or you could just
Is that a train chad emoji? Hexbear you spoil us!
They run diesel generators? Lol would be funny if cubertrucks are emitting more CO2 normal trucks.
