Electric Trucks Surge in China, Outpacing Passenger EVs

from The Daily News Now! Business

Electric truck sales in China are surging, tripling in 2025 and hitting 20% of the commercial truck market, with March sales doubling to over 24,000 units. Fuel cost increases and government subsidies make electric trucks cheaper to run, with payback periods as short as one year. Fleet bosses are switching from diesel due to cost savings, with a drivers trip costs cut from 200 yuan in fuel to 120 yuan charging. Tech upgrades are enabling longer hauls, with BloombergNEF projecting electric heavy-duty trucks could grab 63% of Chinas sales by 2035.
