I would imagine the only feasible system involves swapping trucks at stops. Pre-charging a fleet to pick up the cargo from the previous fleet like a relay-run. This means several things.
All this will ultimately serve to do, is drive everyone right back to gas or rail. Since the people who love electric love centralization, they'll try to force rail first, but the capacity is not and never will be there compared to what trucks presently do. Transport companies will cash in on their crony leverage to carve out gas-usage exemptions since it's all that makes sense to do.
All electric is from a government standpoint is an attack on mobility and freedom. Gas is too efficient of an energy conduit and grants the rabble too much of an ability to be anywhere they want without clearance or knowledge of their betters. Gotta snuff it out for that reason alone.
Sounds like a logistic nightmare that would be alot less troublesome if there was a sort of docking system to just switch batteries instead.
The point is to strip the plebs of their independance. The elites and politicians will still fly on private planes and get driven around their luxurious cars.
They don't sincerely believe every car owners will switch to improved electric cars in a decade or two. They plan to coerce most to give up their independant mobility.
But what's the point? The only time most people go anywhere other than to work and back are to get things to enable one to continue the cycle. It just sounds like a lot of complicated logistics work for something that worked the same on it's own.
