  • E-Trucks on Track to Beat Diesels on Cost -- Tuesday, March 16, 2021
    3/16/2021 ELECTRIC VEHICLES: E-trucks on track to beat diesels on cost -- Tuesday, March 16, 2021 -- www.eenews.net THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE ENERGY SECTOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES E-trucks on track to beat diesels on cost David Ferris, E&E News reporter • Published: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 Tesla Inc. released a video Sunday of an electric semitruck prototype driving around a company test track in Fremont, Calif. @Tesla/Twitter Electric freight trucks now ramping for the roadway could cost less than today's diesel trucks over the life of the vehicle, according to a new study. By 2030, they could cost half as much if the electric grid keeps up with vehicle technology and policymakers offer loads of help. The study compares an existing heavy-duty diesel truck from Volvo to the Tesla Semi, the electric freight tractor that is two years behind schedule and has a new target date of the end of this year. Tesla Inc. grabbed a fresh round of attention this weekend when it released a video of its truck rounding a test track. To underscore the electric vehicle maker's emphasis on freight, Tesla moved Jerome Guillen, the president of automotive efforts, to a new role as head of heavy trucking. Though Tesla's vehicle gets a lot of buzz, other, traditional truckmakers are also prototyping electric trucks, including Volvo Trucks Corp. and Daimler Trucks North America. The study is a joint effort of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; the University of California, Los Angeles; and the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley.
