over the truck’s expected million-mile lifetime,”
another bonus.
Of course, to make the Tesla Semi a reality, the
company must offer Superchargers capable of
charging such large trucks. Musk has already
announced plans to install new networks of
“Mega Chargers,” which will add 400 miles of
range in as little as 30 minutes. According to
reports, each Megacharger will charge one
megawatt – 1,000 kilowatts – per hour, and
Tesla Semi customers such as UPS and Pepsico
will install the Megachargers at their own fleet
centers, with on-highway chargers expected
to follow in the coming years and decades.Image: Tesla, Inc.
