We\u2019ve been hearing a lot about electric trucks<\/a> lately, and rightly so\u2014electrifying heavy-duty vehicles delivers a lot of emissions-reduction bang for the buck, and electric trucks in all classes are steadily becoming more economically feasible.<\/p>\n

Most of the media coverage of electric trucks focuses on well-known manufacturers such as\u00a0Daimler<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Volvo<\/a>, and of course\u00a0Tesla<\/a>. However, the former two are just beginning to deliver e-trucks to US customers, and the latter has been working on its Semi since 2017, but so far has not officially delivered any.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Orange EV<\/a>, founded in 2012, says it has deployed over 370 trucks to some 100 fleet customers in 24 states. According to\u00a0a recent report from CALSTART<\/a>, Orange has the most electric trucks in service of any currently active manufacturer (the ill-fated Smith EV has delivered more trucks, but ceased operations in 2017).<\/p>\n

The CALSTART report also notes that, as of the beginning of February, there were around 1,215 medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission trucks on US roads, and 140,000 more on order. Some 145 models are currently available for purchase from at least 30 manufacturers.<\/p>\n
