There are a lot of trucks that never go very far in a day. Many of them are used for "last mile" delivery. They start at a warehouse, get loaded, then go make a few deliveries and head back for the next load. While fast charging is needed, they don't go very far and thus don't need extreme range.
It is a valid question though: how do we get more of the long distant freight onto trains. Followed closely by how to we get existing freight trains to move to all electric instead of diesel electric (I've been told railroads have studied this: if diesel gets to $8/gallon it is cost effective - but I can't find any references to cite and so you should take this "Fact" with some salt)
Fast charging probably isn't really necessary for last mile delivery trucks. They usually work about 8-10 hours a day then spend the majority of their time sitting in a lot or garage. Perfect time to charge them.
yes i conceded that use case a bit bellow, it mostly makes sense in dense urban areas, where access to the grid is easy, and not emitting polution is at a premium. But even then it's a very difficult case to make before eg: electrifying buses, or more generally, decarbonising your electricity supply. If this made sense, musk tried to sell it a decade ago, it just doesn't. A lot of the value is that the majority don't understand the tradeoffs and complication, and just think electric = more green, and it makes for great PR specially abroad.
