The EV charging truck is based on a Class 5 truck platform, providing up to 150kW of continuous power generation.

“On last year’s tour, we witnessed first-hand how difficult it is to charge vehicles while on the road, especially Level 3 DC fast charging, which is very limited outside of California.
