Mack Trucks MD Electric

240 kWh and up to 370 km, but charging at only 80 kW — the MD Electric has the weakest charging-to-battery ratio in this database.

Buying decision

The EvCompass verdict

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

Filling 240 kWh at 80 kW takes over three hours, so this vehicle must charge overnight — there is no other option. The 370 km range is surprisingly good for Class 7, but falls to 225 km with two packs instead of three. The HVIP voucher is 85,000 dollars.

Strengths

  • A 240 kWh battery, 370 km of range and 80 kW DC charging make a coherent distribution configuration.

Weaknesses

  • 80 kW of charging on a 240 kWh battery means overnight charging only.

Price and availability

What it costs and whether it is available in Poland

Published price evidence and the Polish availability answer, kept together for a buying decision.

The manufacturer publishes no price for this vehicle.

In heavy transport that is the rule rather than the exception — makers quote on request.

No published MSRP. California HVIP lists the MD Electric at a base voucher of $85,000 for both Class 6 and Class 7, but HVIP's vehicle pages carry no base price.

Research notes

The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.

Mack lists the MD Electric as 'Class 6 & 7'; recorded as Class 7 because that is the schema's nearer value and the upper GVW band (33,000 lb) is Class 7. Weights converted from Mack's figures: GVW 25,995-33,000 lb = 11,791-14,969 kg (upper bound recorded); payload 19,400 lb = 8,800 kg; torque 1,850 lb-ft max = 2,508 Nm (960 lb-ft = 1,302 Nm continuous). Power converted from 260 hp peak = 194 kW and 185 hp continuous = 138 kW. Three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motor, 394 V system, three-level selectable regenerative braking, wheelbases 205-274 in (17-22 ft). NMC packs at 150 or 240 kWh installed; Mack does not publish usable energy. Charging is comparatively slow at 80 kW DC.
