Between the port of New York and a New York Amazon warehouse? Don't need them.

Between a Walmart distribution centre and a Walmart store? Same.

Between FedEx sorting centres, or the sorting centre and the airport mail centre? Yup.

These aren't designed for hyper-miler long-haul freight (most of which should go by train anyway). Most truck journeys are local/regional distribution, for which 300km range is more than sufficient - especially if you control both ends and can do little top-ups during the day whilst the truck is being loaded/unloaded.
