how are the trailers getting charged? there are a lot more trailers than tractors, and having enough charge capacity for trailers seems like a lot. There are a lot of trailers that are just a frame with wheels for a shipping container.


trailers have to sit at docks to get loaded and unloaded. they can charge then. meanwhile the truck can leave instantly. maybe a two part system of flatbed trailer with battery + cargo container sitting on top that?


who's managing/wrangling those trailers to keep them rotating to always stay charged? you just created a new job type at the ports


just have plugs at the docks? the same guy that opens the trailer doors can plug it in


Trailers do not sit at docks. They back in, get unloaded, and then pull away.


i see trailers at warehouse docks all the time? like, overnight. with no semi trucks in sight to take them away
