Amazon will use 50 all-electric trucks to haul freight in Southern California, eight of them out of the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, says The Los Angeles Times. 

California will ban the sale of new diesel trucks in 2035, and has already banned brand new diesel trucks from seaports in California, although diesel trucks purchased through 2023 will be allowed in the ports for years under certain conditions.

The batteries in the big rig tractors, manufactured by Volvo, can travel up to 275 miles before a recharge, “with zero tailpipe emissions,” Amazon said. The trucks will haul shipping containers from the ports to the Amazon freight center in Sante Fe Springs, for onward distribution.

Although Amazon didn’t say how much it’s paying for the trucks, the price currently ranges from $300,000 to $500,000, compared with about $120,000 for a diesel truck. But California and the federal government offer big subsidies to buyers of low-carbon trucks, and Amazon is in a position to buy in bulk and extract a discount.

Maersk is already using BYD-brand electric trucks at the ports, charging up at a newly opened station in Lynwood, California, equipped with 65 chargers provided by Palo Alto-based Voltera.
