How about a fleet of vehicles that charge EV semi trucks WHILE THEY ARE MOVING. That could reduce the needed size of the tractor battery and the cost of the whole system.
Downside is it would probably be gasoline-powered.
Less radically, you simply tow an additional trailer that is a power generator/range extender. It can be a trailer of batteries that you simply swap at a swap station rather than wait to recharge, and you don't need some whacko battery swap scheme.
Honestly I think that should work for any EV, a range extending trailer. That way you can buy a 150-200 mile max range car for your daily stuff, and just rent/borrow a range extending trailer for longer trips.
