Electric Truck depots:
Economic, sustainable, real.
Save €45,000 per truck & 73 % less CO₂
– with 40 trucks, we are talking about millions of euros and thousands of tonnes of CO₂ savings.
Why do we hear so little about it?
Outdated assumptions ("at least 10 MW grid connection required!") and a lack of reliable figures often hinder the discussion.
That is exactly why there is the Truck Impact Calculator from rencolab:
In just 5 minutes, you will know from what fleet size electric logistics becomes economically and environmentally friendly.

3 MW photovoltaic including carports + 4 MWh battery storage
Self-generated electricity for approximately 27 ct/kWh. Batteries reduce peak loads, so a grid connection of only 1 MW is sufficient to supply 40 e-trucks daily.
Realistic ranges & charging times
With a range of 380 km per charge, electric trucks fit perfectly within the maximum driving time of 4.5 hours. Charging time is equal to break time.
Toll-free &
low-maintenance
Electric trucks not only save diesel but also significant toll costs and maintenance effort.
Funding as a bonus,
not as a basis
The business model is already self-sustaining. Available grants further enhance the return.
