Also, how long would it take to charge to 80% using the public network (let’s assume there would be the necessary coverage by the time it’s needed)? (2/2)

He's dubbed a few into English & looking forward to the Germany-Spain return trip he recently did. His Iveco with over 700kW battery & 1000hp more than copes with 40 tons, max 4½ hrs session before 45 min break & max 9hrs/day driving before 11 hour break. https://youtu.be/5SPWxD35e-Q?si=RwFX02kX01wQs8WX
Given the cost of operating & building out hydrogen infrastructure relative to electric, I don't think that will be the case. There is also less energy in green H2 bonds than the H2O from which it was derived, so it will always be more expensive than using battery electric. Time will tell.
Indeed they try hard.
But the chain of process steps is too long, the source is too costly, the yields are too low, and in the end the drivertrain is electric anyway.
It is the complex route.
In Norway, the country with clearly most EV's pr capita, the plans for long haul (fully electric) is well underway.
When we can have fully electric snowplows clearing snow on Dovrefjell, hydrogen isn't needed.
Ps. There's ONE place to fill hydrogen in southern Norway...

He's German and has been driving an Iveco for about two months.

The move to long haul will be made with hydrogen, from what I can tell.
The overall yield elec-hydrogen-elec is too low.
Look for the hydrogen-ladders.

It's a beast 🙂
