The Tesla Semi is the most famous electric big rig truck.
In fact, many people might think it’s the only electric semi-truck on the market.

Another option is the single-motor, which delivers basically half the power figures of the dual-motor version.
With the single-motor version, you’ve got the option to expect 11,500 lb-ft of torque.
Clearly, these electric motors aren’t wanting in the torque department.

Regular trucks might struggle from a dig, but electric motors are in their element in low RPM situations.
This truck features the option to go for a four-battery or a six-battery configuration.
The available range is up to 275 miles, which is excellent for a vehicle of such monstrous dimensions.
Now, traditional truck manufacturers are playing catch up to Tesla.
In addition, the Peterbilt 579 EV can go up to 150 miles on a single charge.
Nikola TRE BEV
The Nikola TRE BEV looks like an EV semi-truck, and the design is futuristic.
The Nikola TRE is also extremely fast, with a top speed of 70 MPH.
However, I’m sure faster semi trucks aren’t something too many people are overly excited about.
Mercedes-Benz eActros
The Mercedes-Benz eAtros looks exactly like what it is, the Mercedes-Benz of semi-trucks.
This range relegates it to city distribution duties or delivery to closer destinations.
The other manufacturers in this segment need to deliver a vehicle with a comparable range to the Tesla Semi.
Otherwise, Tesla will take over this segment with ease.
