Electric truck is essential in supply chain, by Eetasia “The global electric truck market was valued at $392.3 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $3,861.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 26.4% from 2021 to 2030”. Electric truck powered by electricity instead of fuel. It uses a large battery pack to store energy. Charging options include AC and faster DC charging. Electric trucks offer advantages such as lower costs and reduced emissions. The charging infrastructure is expanding, and advancements in battery technology are improving range and charging capabilities. Electric trucks are transforming transportation towards a greener and more sustainable future. The question is what solutions are in the market about energy solutions.

In develop countries

Electric buses had the highest sales share in Finland within Europe, accounting for two-thirds of all bus sales in 2022. In Norway and the Netherlands, electric buses constituted nearly half of the sales, while in Denmark, they comprised nearly one-third. Significant sales shares were also observed in Sweden, Switzerland, and Israel. The main players in this field are Volvo and Scania with more unit sell within Europe. Even if these countries take and advantage to a more substantiality world, we should take a look at the truck registration and sales worldwide, where there are a country with more electric vehicles than anyone.

China situation

In 2022, global sales of electric buses and medium- to heavy-duty trucks were significant. Approximately 66,000 electric buses and 60,000 electric trucks were sold worldwide. China dominated the market, accounting for a substantial portion of sales. In China, 54,000 electric buses and an estimated 52,000 electric trucks were sold, representing a large percentage of both national and global sales. Chinese brands also made their presence felt in Latin America, North America, and Europe.

Chinese electric trucks have an average range exceeding 300 km, while electric buses can travel up to 400 km on a single charge. Although most electric buses are used in urban transit, around 8% operate on intercity routes. The majority of electric trucks sold in China are box trucks, with 90% being under 4.5 tonnes in weight. Sales of electric tractor-trailers and garbage trucks have also seen significant growth in China.

Truck problems

Charging Infrastructure: The charging infrastructure for electric semi trucks needs improvement to support their widespread use.

Heavy Battery Weight: Electric trucks have bulky battery packs that impact payload capacity, although they don’t carry fuel or heavy engines.

Limited Range: Some electric trucks have shorter ranges compared to diesel trucks, affecting their flexibility and necessitating more frequent charging stops.

Cold Weather Effects: Cold weather reduces the range of electric trucks due to battery performance and increased energy demands for climate control.

Replacement Parts Availability: Timely access to replacement parts is critical for electric trucks, but availability and reliability may pose challenges.

Lengthy Charging Times: Charging electric trucks takes longer than refueling diesel trucks, requiring efficient charging solutions to minimize downtime.

Main problem “TIME”

When we are talking about electronic vehicles the main problem is the energy source , as in combustion engine the time to charge is from 1 to 5 minutes and is possible to bring gas in your car, but in electric vehicles talking about the lider in the field TESLA using a Wall Connector “A Tesla Wall Connector offers the fastest charging speed for your home or office, adding up to 44 miles of range per hour charged. You can order a Wall Connector online and have it installed by a Tesla Certified electrician.” And this for a tesla 3 model.
