Electric Trucks

Charging
Smaller electric trucks and vehicles can get by with a Level 2 charger that is run of 208/240 volt power. However, Level 2 chargers quickly become too small for many medium-duty needs and are not an option for heavy-duty needs.

For medium- and heavy-duty owners, a direct current (DC) fast charger is the highest-powered charger on the market. DC fast chargers offer much faster charging capacity, and are necessary for those trucks involved with daily operation.

TEC is a proud seller of DC fast chargers made by ABB, Heliox and Freewire. We partner with these providers to ensure our customers secure charging solutions that are specific to their needs. To do that, we work with customers to:

Utilities
Hand-in-hand with charging considerations is the assurance that the associated utilities can deliver the required electrical supply to our customer locations. Electric service to these locations may require an upgrade to the electric grid, electrical equipment, or other considerations necessitating the involvement of a customer’s electric utility.

TEC’s first-hand experience working through the challenges of installing chargers on our own site, as well as prior experience helping many customers prepare for battery electric deployment means we’re well-prepared to help step through these all-important details with big utility companies that often take months and can be quite cumbersome.

Every customer needs to run an efficient business to remain competitive. That means evaluating viable zero emission and battery electric solutions in light of what routes demand. The TEC team consults with each customer to fully understand their daily demands on equipment, and analyze their routes to identify which of the many electrified equipment options are best suited to them.

As a part of the consideration process, our team also discusses the role telematics might play in helping to keep units charged, and on the road. The use of telematics and all the resulting data from these programs helps our customers understand a multitude of details about their use of equipment, optimizing for their business needs.

TEC Equipment is dedicated to being your partner throughout the lifetime of your electric vehicle. A big part of that is keeping our warehouses stocked with the parts that you need and continuously training our technicians as BEV technology advances.

TEC Equipment currently has multiple Mack and Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealerships. At each of those locations, our service team is fully trained and equipped to safely perform battery electric maintenance and repairs for BEV trucks in operation. Each certified location has a dedicated BEV service bay and at least four technicians certified to work on BEVs.

With fewer components, BEVs require less maintenance and fewer repairs compared to diesel-powered trucks. With fewer things to grease, and fewer fluids to change, there are fewer things that can go wrong in a BEV. BEVs have similar maintenance intervals to a diesel truck to ensure the vehicle is operating smoothly and to help catch issues before they become more serious.
