282 kWh and 322 km — the 220EV disappeared from Peterbilt's site, though the maker never announced it.

The EvCompass verdict

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

The discontinued status here rests on indirect evidence — product pages vanishing — rather than on a statement, and it should be read that way. The smaller 141 kWh pack gave 161 km, so the span was wide for a distribution vehicle. The Class 6 HVIP voucher was 85,000 dollars.

Strengths

  • A 322 km range from a 282 kWh pack and 150 kW DC charging give the 220EV a complete distribution profile.

Weaknesses

  • The model is discontinued and its product page has disappeared, so 322 km describes a historical solution rather than a current offer.

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 shows a $85,000 Class 6 base voucher, no base price.

Status: marked discontinued on the following evidence, not on a formal Peterbilt announcement - peterbilt.com's /trucks/electric/220EV and /trucks/zero-emission/220EV pages now return an empty shell with no product content, California HVIP lists executive-order model years only up to 2025 (versus 2026 for the 520EV and 579EV), and Peterbilt's December 2025 launch of the conventional-cab 536EV and 537EV covers the same Class 6/7 duty cycle. Specification from the May 2023 sales sheet (PETE-9938): LFP packs at 618 V mounted outside the frame rails, three sizes 141 / 209 / 282 kWh; Class 6 e-motor 208 hp (155 kW) continuous / 355 hp (265 kW) peak, Class 7 e-motor 349 hp (260 kW) continuous / 496 hp (370 kW) peak - the Class 7 pair is recorded. GVWR 26,000 lb (Class 6) or 33,000 lb (Class 7, 14,969 kg recorded). Curb weight 12,300-14,800 lb. Wheelbases 206 / 218 / 274 in for 24 / 26 / 30 ft bodies. Drive configuration 4x2. Torque not published. Vehicle class recorded as Class 7 (the heavier of the two offerings); HVIP lists it under Class 6. Earlier press described a 148 kWh two-pack version with a Meritor Blue Horizon two-speed eAxle - superseded by the 141/209/282 kWh line-up. Image coverage is the weakest in this group: Peterbilt has pulled almost all 220EV media.
