How long before there is a viable fully electric, tractor trailer and what would that mean for the petro industry?

Sooner or later there will be a fully electric tractor trailer. How long will it take, especially one with the range of diesel and a charge time of around 6–7 hours (so it can charge while the driver is sleeping)? How large of batteries would it take, or if batteries can ever be made small enough to suit the task? At which point the hurdles in the way of a viable electric tractor trailer is solved, what impact would that have on the petro industry when more than 55% of the tractor trailers go electric?
