If one where to incorporate a fast recharge to that electric truck... It could be very productive on a specifically scheduled route
Assuming that 100km is the "warm" range, it'd probably be less in winter. Would never work here with such a range because you might have a traffic jam on the way back to the bus depot and run out of juice.
