Dan Priestly Semi Presentaion

Will small Towns and Rural areas be willing to install Substations so companies that are located in these areas can charge the Tesla Semis?

Good question. Seems incredibly difficult to get enough charging @350kW available in many truck depots to support electric trucks. A number of MCS stations would probably be a heck no for most areas.

I am very interested to see how this goes as EV semis start appearing in bigger numbers due to legal requirements in some states.

I ran across these articles today by the ICCT which I thought were interesting related to the question of HD charging infrastructure:
Battery electric trucks - US Northeast electric utilities and planning for tomorrow

Also: Powering Seattle fleets - Charging infrastructure strategy for battery electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles
