According to a report from from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and Federal Highway Administration,, and as reported by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2021, 87% of U.S. truck freight tonnage was shipped fewer than 250 miles . Trucks moved nearly 12 billion tons of freight domestically in 2021. The reports shows that shipments below 100 miles accounted for 44% of the total tonnage, and shipments between 100 and 249 miles accounted for 43%.
The JAC electric truck has two electric motors, 246kW each, and a top speed of 89 km/h. The JAC truck has a swappable battery pack with a range of about 350 km. The choice of making the JAC’s battery packs swappable is an interesting one. As more trucks get electrified, they will probably get megawatt-hour-capacity battery packs and charging speeds ranging from about 350 kW to 1 MW, and even faster in future.
