Buying decision

The EvCompass verdict

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

Both versions carry the same CARB certification from April 2026, so 523 km is as official as the long-range version's 805 km — the only pair in this database that can be set side by side without caveats. The figure was derived from California HVIP data rather than from a price list. Not offered in Poland.

Strengths

A 523 km range from a 548 kWh pack and MCS charging up to 1.2 MW define a concrete regional version.

Weaknesses

The Standard Range price is reported as USD 260,000 or USD 250,000, so even the base cost remains disputed.

Mass and load

Combination weight: 37,195 kg

Market and year

Model year from: 2,026
Markets: US
Production status: In production
Vehicle class: Class 8
Measurement basis: Manufacturer / CARB Executive Order A-374-0095 (15 April 2026): 325 miles (523 km). Sources do not state whether the 325-mile figure is quoted at the full 82,000 lb GCW as the Long Range figure is - treat the load basis as unconfirmed.

These are manufacturer-published figures gathered through EvCompass research.

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.

260,000 USD

Confidence: Medium

USD 260,000 derived from California HVIP / CARB data and reported by Electrek and electrive. CONFLICT: some outlets report USD 250,000 for the Standard Range. Not published on a public configurator; sold B2B with a USD 20,000 reservation deposit. Same California HVIP voucher (USD 120,000, or USD 150,000 for drayage) applies.

Research notes

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

This is the successor to the 2017 '300-mile' variant - the two Semi variants remain distinct in 2026, now rated 325 and 500 miles. 548 kWh pack (reportedly two packs vs three on the Long Range), NCMA 4680 cells. Curb weight under 20,000 lb (~9.07 t), roughly 3,000 lb lighter than the Long Range, which is the payload argument for this variant. CARB documentation lists 525 kW motor power for the Standard Range; whether it also has the 800 kW peak tri-motor rating of the Long Range is not separately published, so peak is left null. Same 82,000 lb max GCW. modelYearFrom set to 2026 because the CARB EO covering both variants is dated April 2026 and volume production started 29 April 2026 - the earlier 2022-2023 pilot fleet was the long-range truck. All images are shared with the Long Range record; no externally distinguishing Standard Range photography was found.
