The surge in popularity for electric vehicles is partly fueled by the roller coaster price of gas. Now trucking companies are following suit as a long-term option.
"The turning radius is very short, the maneuverability is excellent," said Cary Gniffke, E.V. Manager for HOLT Truck Centers. Gniffke says it's about sustainability,"Gives us the ability to do something that we love and it's the benefit to the Texas people in general and that provides a transportation solution that has zero emissions."
"That savings becomes pretty significant especially if you're running a fleet of say five to ten of these trucks," added Gniffke."You don't have oil changes with this, you don't even have to do overhauls. You don't have to do some of the things you normally would on servicing because this is electric," said Gniffke.
