You're quite right. SSS = Formula 1 type pit stop with a small battery pulled out and another pushed in. Elapsed time = 7 seconds. Good for another 100 km. FULL charge - none of the part charge nonsense. An hour to get a full Tesla Supercharger refill is a joke, especially when having already queued for an hour, or two, to have a turn at the charger at peak times, which will also be when peak electricity prices will make it more expensive than petrol or diesel. If battery powered trucks are ever adapted, it would seem to be most sensible for fleet operators, either otr or delivery trucks. UPS, FedEx, Ryder could have terminals established with batteries waiting. A driver would drive in, a crew would change out his battery while he took a leak and filled his coffee mug, then back on the road in minutes.
