Interesting that they went with onboard CNG generators that are directly charging batteries. Those types of generators are a proven reliable technology, and batteries seem to have proven mostly reliable in Tesla products, so I can see their longevity claims of 2x higher than diesel trucks being at least plausible.

CNG fuel points are actually fairly common since multiple car manufactures have CNG vehicles (mostly fleet vehicles).

Yeah, but how many of them can accommodate several trucks coming through each taking 150 gallons?

I would imagine quite a few since they were designed to fill multiple buses and some farm vehicles.

It's a pretty well established system in marine applications, so it seems like a good idea. Of course, the hard part isn't the tech, it's building a company.
