Find out before you buy the truck
Is your fleet ready for electric?
Check vehicle fit, routes, charging, financing, incentives and operating costs, and explore available Class 8 electric trucks.
The problem
Buying the truck is the easy part
Making electrification work is the hard part. Six things decide it:
Truck
Which electric model, which range, and when you can actually get one.
Route
Do your daily miles and stops fit a charge, with margin for weather and loads?
Charging
Depot power, utility upgrades and public charging along your lanes.
Financing
Lease, loan or buy, and who carries the risk at the end of the term.
Incentives
The big federal credits ended in 2025–26. What's still open is mostly state programs.
Residual value
What a used electric truck will be worth is still an open question.

The fleet readiness assessment
Tell us about your fleet and see where electric fits, and where it doesn't:
- Fleet size, truck type and daily miles
- Return-to-base or over-the-road, and how predictable your routes are
- Depot power, where you operate, and your replacement timeline
- How you'd pay, and whether incentives matter
Diesel vs electric
Should I buy electric?
Put in your truck, miles, diesel price and electricity rate. We'll show where electric pays off, and where it doesn't, with every assumption on the page.
