Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

MAN produces around 100,000 trucks per year. They plan to produce about 1,000 electric trucks in the second half of this year, which suggests that going forward, about 1 in 50 new MAN trucks will be electric.
It'll probably ramp up over time. Even US EV adoption is continuing. With ~4M EVs (not including hybrids) on the road in 2024 compared to ~2M in 2022. This is still only like 1.4% of US cars but hey gotta start somewhere.
Oh it will definitely ramp up. Still it was interesting to calculate what market share they estimated.
Currently, we still have relatively few fastcharging stations designed for large trucks. Often electric trucks need to charge on car charging points.
We'll probably see both the truck charging stations and electric trucks grow at a pace similar (or a little faster) than electric cars.
