Why? If you design it to run for 8 hours then at the end of the work day charge overnight. I believe that is Tesla’s idea by making a truck with a range of 300 to 500 miles.

I don't see that as an acceptable solution for the company. As I have read these posts about fuel cells, I can honestly say that using fuel cells may not be as efficient as batteries for a passenger vehicle, but heavy equipment and long-haul trucks could definitely use fuel cells. But the infrastructure has to be built for refueling. Or battery technology has to be advanced so that these large monsters can recharge in a matter of minutes (I would say 30 minutes tops).

The solar they are using to make hydrogen could be more efficiently used to just charge batteries.
