Alberta is testing a couple of hydrogen electric highway rigs for freight that can go 500 miles on a tank and refills in 3 minutes.
There are also a couple of 1/2 ton units coming out this year by Riven,Nikola and Atlis motors that all have possibilities for c class units with great range.
I would much rather see hydrogen electric units and I think battery only units are just a stepping stone for the future, But use your fuel rigs while you can they are going the way of the dodo. IMHOP

Yeah agree with Chance: You'd have to stay at a campground for a while to charge up a Tesla semi. The Tesla semi's charge with two superchargers; something like 500kW--good luck finding that at a campground.
Honestly: I think hydrogen is dead as a vehicle fuel. EV battery tech is advancing much faster than hydrogen storage and transfer which is such a difficult problem to tackle. At this point EVs are about a decade ahead of hydrogen and companies have been researching hydrogen for as long if not longer than EV tech.
