To illustrate the point, Daimler had an eM2 at CES and Peterbilt had just unveiled its Model 220EV. According to the spec’s for both trucks provided by the companies, the battery capacity on the eM2 is more than twice that of the 220EV — 325 kWh compared to 148 kWh. That doesn’t mean one truck is better than the other, it only implies that the two trucks probably have different target applications.
Having double the battery capacity suggests the eM2 will be heavier and more expensive than the 220EV. It will have a longer range, but it may suffer from payload limitations as a result of the heavier battery pack. For the pickup and delivery applications with the eM2, Daimler is looking at a range of 370 km, while the spec’s provided by Peterbilt indicate they are looking at 160-km range.
