Kjøpte elektriske lastebiler: – Vises på regningene våre
Interessen for elektriske lastebiler har økt etter årets prissjokk på diesel.
Diesel prices have dropped recently, with some stations even reaching 30 kroner per liter. Jotra's operations manager, Frank Johnsen, believes that the Norwegian oil company should have passed on the cuts to fuel taxes after September 1st. Nonetheless, Jotra has invested heavily in electric buses, with over 50% of its vehicle fleet already being fossil-free.
Johnsen stated that the company has thought about this for years and didn't wait for diesel prices to reach 29 kroner. Their monthly bill for diesel has halved, and now they have a smaller electricity bill to add on. In September, Jotra plans to build a new charging station with battery and solar panel storage near Trondheim. The company currently operates a fleet of 38 vehicles, with 18 of them being electric and two running on natural gas (LNG).
Jotra has also placed an order for eight electric heavy-duty trucks that will be delivered in January or February. Enova has seen a significant increase in interest for electric buses and charging infrastructure this year, receiving over a billion kroner in support for over 1,000 electric buses and trucks.
