The State of the Art of Electric Freight Vehicles

Kurzfassung

The main challenges in the technical performance of Electric Freight Vehicles (EFV) are the available range, payload and charging time today. The traction battery has a major influence on the indicators. In addition, the limited availability of EFV models and the rapid technological development plays a major role in the attractiveness of EFV in the market [1]. However, the market is developing rapidly. The question therefore arises whether the current state of performance of EFV is competitive with a conventional freight vehicle today.
