Lurker,
Obviously I don't disagree that there are situations where EVs don't work at the moment. But I think you're massively overestimating the proportion of truck journeys that are so long or in such remote areas that they require technology that isn't available today. If you look at the statistics I gave for the UK, you see that most trucks don't travel huge distances each day, due to traffic, loading/unloading, obligatory breaks for drivers, etc. For the US, I found this:
The average truck driver is expected to travel between 2,000 and 3,000 miles per week, based on the 70 hour maximum hour restriction over eight days.

In terms of the rest of the world, China, for example, already has 100s of thousands of electric buses, with the necessary charging infrastructure. Once electric trucks become common, I'm sure they'll put in place the necessary charging infrastructure for them.
Remote parts of Russia, Canada, Australia, Argentina, etc. might be slower to convert, but I bet most journeys in those countries are within/between heavily populated areas where distances are much shorter: Toronto-Montreal (540 km), St. Petersburg-Moscow (710 km). Certainly within the kind of range that you can expect from electric trucks with one rapid charge.
I certainly don't think that we should replace what we have with ICEs today with EVs – we should aim for something better – but I don't think we should exaggerate the limitations of EVs.
