I've done 1200km for a day of work. 1400km per fuel up.

That’s not an issue in the EU, as it wouldn’t be legal - you’d have driven for too long in one day. It’s not about the size of the place, it’s about the number of hours you’re allowed to drive.

Still, truckers regularly drive 550+ kms/day in Europe

I think they legally have to stop driving for 45 minutes every 4.5 hours in France (or any combinaison with a similar ratio). Which would be perfectly apt to recharge the truck battery!

And where are the truck recharging points?

Yeah, and they can continue to use an ICE truck for those journey types, or top up during their break.

Really? what do you classify as a day, 12 hours? so non-stop at 100kmh for 12 hours. Yes, really believable.

110kph most of the time, highway 99% of the way. I can drive 13 hours a day.
