The development of electric vehicles started as an attempt to provide a next generation means of transportation that will not only be economical but also zero emission and affordable. The decades of research of development have not been in vain and we can now see more and more electric cars driving on the roads. It is also hard not to notice that manufacturers have created battery-electric powertrains that are powerful enough to bring into motion not just small city cars but also larger vehicles, including trucks, busses and even cargo vehicles or trucks.

While we have been imagining electric trucks as a part of the distant future, they gradually rolled onto the highways to claim the present-day heavy hauling duties. Besides the world’s famous Tesla Semi Truck, this class of vehicles is represented by many loud-name carmakers like Mercedes and Volvo, as well as up and coming startups.Many of them have been covered in our review of the latest electrified vehicle reviews:    • Best electric vehicles and hybrid cars
