Buying decision

The EvCompass verdict

The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.

Three battery strings give 451 km, two and 250 kWh correspondingly less — Kenworth sells range modularly here. A Class 7/8 rating with a combination weight from 14,969 to 22,680 kg shows this is a distribution vehicle rather than a long-haul tractor. No price was given.

Strengths

  • A 375 kWh usable battery gives 451 km of range, while charging can reach 350 kW.

Weaknesses

  • Range falls from 451 km with the 375 kWh pack to a shorter result with the 250 kWh pack, so the outcome depends on battery choice.
