In a press release, Walmart cites the following sustainability and safety features as “key highlights on the new Tesla Semi electric trucks”:
• Tesla Semi consumes less than two kilowatt-hours of energy per mile at Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and highway speed, significantly reducing operating costs per mile compared to diesel.
• 500 miles range allows a driver to go to their destination and back without recharging (500 mile range at maximum weight at highway speed)
• Capable of 0-60 mph in 20 seconds with a full 80,000-pound load and can climb 5 per cent grades at a steady 65 mph (compared to 45mph for same grade in a diesel truck)
• Regenerative braking technology recovers 98 per cent of kinetic energy to the battery
• Surrounding vehicle cameras and sensors aid object detection and minimize blind spots, automatically alerting the driver to safety hazards and obstacles
• Additional driver safety features including Automatic Emergency Braking, Automatic Lane Keeping, Lane Departure Warning
Walmart notes that the range of 500 miles on a single charge is one of the main reasons they chose to go with the Tesla Semi:
“The ability to travel 500 miles per charge is in line with Walmart Canada’s general fleet system, which consists mainly of single day round trips – allowing for the ability to convert from diesel at a faster pace. The enhanced driver safety features also offer a significant opportunity for the company to continue to address this critical issue.”
They didn’t note when they expect to take delivery of the electric trucks, but they did say that the order is part of their plan for 20% of their fleet to be electric vehicles by the end of 2022.
