This Start-Up Gives Old Trucks a New Electric Life

Evolectric doesn’t just swap the fuel tank for a battery. It turns the trucks into smart vehicles connected to the cloud, giving truck owners live insights into how their truck operates. Evolectric also builds in cutting-edge driver safety features and ‘vehicle-to-grid’ technology. Which allows the truck to sell excess power back to the grid. The process is less carbon-intensive than scrapping an old truck and manufacturing another.
