Haulier to receive access to Class 8 e-trucks


American startup Watt EV has placed an order for 50 Volvo VNR Electric trucks. Over the next several months, the trucks will be deployed in Watt EV’s Truck-as-a-Service model (TaaS).

 

TaaS provides shippers and carriers access to Class 8 battery-electric trucks at a per-mile rate, including charging, that is on par with the total cost of operating diesel trucks.

 

To support its TaaS model, Watt EV is building a public network of battery-electric truck charging depots to service major transportation corridors in California.

 

The first public charging depots will feature 250 kW CCS chargers that will provide the Volvo VNR Electric trucks an 80% charge in 90 minutes for the six-battery packs. (ben)
