Pepsi is currently reporting 1.7 kWh/mile with their test vehicles. So less energy needed. New motor designs look to be about 20% more efficient, so 1.36 kWh/mile. So less. About 10% of trucking is devoted to hauling oil and gasoline which would no longer be needed in an electrified fleet. So again, less.
The starting price for the Tesla Semi is US$150,000 for a 300-miles vehicle and $180,000 for 500 miles extended-range version. (not 400/500).
Be nice if your numbers were more up to date.
