Electric Light Truck

FAQ About New Electric Light Trucks

Q1: What is the typical driving range of your electric light trucks?
Our brand-new electric light trucks from leading manufacturers like FOTON, HOWO, and DONGFENG are designed for urban logistics. Depending on the battery configuration (typically 80kWh to 100kWh+), they offer a cruising range of 200km to 300km per full charge, which is more than sufficient for a full day of inner-city distribution.

Q2: Which battery technology is used, and how long does it take to charge?
We prioritize safety and longevity by using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries from world-class suppliers like CATL. Our electric trucks support DC Fast Charging, which can replenish the battery from 20% to 80% in approximately 45 to 60 minutes, allowing for quick turnarounds during driver breaks.

Q3: How much can I save by switching from Diesel to Electric?
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for an electric light truck is significantly lower. Operators typically save 60% to 80% on energy costs compared to diesel, while maintenance costs are reduced by nearly 50% due to the absence of complex engine parts, oil filters, and traditional transmissions.

Q4: Are these electric trucks suitable for refrigerated or specialized cargo?
Yes. The electric chassis is an ideal platform for refrigerated box bodies (EV Reefers) because the cooling unit can be powered directly by the high-voltage traction battery. We also offer customizable bodies including standard vans, flatbeds, and stake trucks to meet various urban delivery needs.

Q5: Where can I source replacement battery modules and electric motor parts?
To ensure the longevity of your green fleet, we provide full support for EV-specific components. You can find specialized parts like charging cables, DC-DC converters, electric compressors, and cooling system components through our parts division: www.archerparts.com.
