Making charging stations for trucks is not feasible as of today, I think. Judging by how they park in Autobahn pockets, they would need a designated parking lot just for these trucks where each spot has a charger. These parking spots would be huge. As huge as some major on-road gas stations. We maybe could add infrastructure to these existing gas stations. All the small ones needs to be extended. And the ones that are just for parking - have do be rebuilt entirely.
It seems that this is a whole a lot of work. But is it as much as building wireless charging road? I feel that trucks will never go electric in near future.
Those massive parking lots are all around the large highways already. Again the truckers have to take those breaks due to labor law. Also electric trucking even long distance is a thing already. The main issue is that the trucks are too expensive, but prices are falling.
Obviously trains are the real solution for long distance. However those also need more tracks to be laid to have the capacity necessary to replace some trucking.
