Hm, no specs besides batteries?

    Iโ€™m assuming โ€œup to 720kmโ€ is with an empty trailer or even without one in perfect weather

    The e Actros 600 with a slightly smaller battery manages 500 km at full load (well 40t out of a max allowed 44t total weight). This is probably with good weather. That Scania should get further. So it makes no sense to assume that this Scania wouldn't have a longer range.

    Yeah, but how much ascent was there? Or are these tests on flat roads? Actually are these range estimation tests standardized? I assume not. I'd imagine something like benchmarks for computers - flat road, hilly road, mountain road, mixed road and few other combos all with defined characteristics.

    If you want to see range in daily use under real conditions, have a look at the Elektrotrucker videos. 600 kWh trucks usually have enough range to be practicable in daily long range hauling in Europe. If that above battery solution can boost the total capacity to around 900 kWh, 700 km range, with 42 tons total weight, ie a quite typical load is realistic under at least mild conditions (18ยฐC) in certainly relevant configurations. Sure, wind, weather, geography and other factors can play a role. But there are countless scenarios and the technology is very new. Which is why if you are interested in real scenarios, not just optimal or nice weather ones, have a look at those e-truckers that are long holing already today and their experiences.
