The electric truck features a 103 kW motor and two Li-ion packs with a total capacity of 170 kWh. These vehicles can reach a maximum speed of 90 km/h (56 mph) and have a system of recovering energy during braking. This will provide sufficient energy to run the equivalent of some 30 electric trucks for a year.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
