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Outdated assumptions ("at least 10 MW grid connection required!")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.
Genau deshalb gibt es den Truck Impact Calculator von rencolab: In nur 5 Minuten wissen Sie, ab welcher Flottengröße elektrische Logistik wirtschaftlich und klimafreundlich wird.

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 fossil fuels 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.

Realistic ranges & charging times
Mit 380 km Reichweite pro Ladung passen elektrische LKW exakt zur maximalen Lenkzeit von 4,5 Stunden. Ladezeit ist gleich Pausenzeit.
Toll-free &
low-maintenance
Elektrische Trucks sparen nicht nur Diesel, sondern auch erhebliche Mautkosten und Wartungsaufwand.
Funding as a bonus,
not as a basis
Das Geschäftsmodell trägt sich bereits selbst. Verfügbare Förderungen verbessern die Rendite zusätzlich.
