Dhl： it's a good deal to buy a Tesla electric truck. it'll be back in a year and a half

Netease, feb 27, according to foreign media engadget reported that last year Tesla released semi electric trucks, it had boldly declared its " great value", that thanks to fuel efficiency, those who bought electric trucks will recover costs within two years。 However, it still seems a bit conservative。 Jim monk Meyer, supply chain chief of DHL, an international express company, told Reuters he expected DHL to recover the cost of ordering semi electric trucks within a year and a half and save a lot of money every year thereafter。

In fact, fuel efficiency is only part of the economics of electric trucks, which are much simpler to construct than traditional trucks with large diesel engines, meaning they do not require frequent maintenance。

Tesla CEO elon elon musk has also hinted that semi electric trucks are expected to see further performance improvements。 Musk was " optimistic" about Tesla's ability to upgrade semi electric trucks without significantly increasing the price。

However, because musk's company has always been exaggerated " trouble", so for these expected data, we still maintain a skeptical attitude, but for the first semi electric truck is scheduled to ship in 2019, we are still very bullish。

Whether DHL's " dream" can come true depends on whether semi electric trucks can meet our original expectations。 Of course, there are many variables in this。

Building an electric truck of that size and getting 300 - 500 miles of battery life is technically no easy task, as is the size of all the batteries it needs to carry。 In addition, many of the semi predictions are based on constant diesel prices。 If there are any unexpected technical obstacles during this period, or if the price of diesel engine suddenly fell, semi value may also be significantly reduced。

But on the other hand, it is not easy for consumers to feel that a car manufacturer is selling its products at a low price。

Whatever the outcome, semi at least bodes well for the future of electric trucks。 ( water stop )
