This is how big the battery pack of Tesla’s electric truck (Semi) is.

You know the Tesla Semi by now. Much has been written and said about the brand’s electric truck, but not everything was known until now. Now we finally know how big the battery pack is.

Although Tesla has not yet announced all of the vehicle’s specifications, the truck has already been delivered. For example, PepsiCo is already driving around America with the EV.

This is how big the battery pack of the Tesla Semi is

Thanks to the PepsiCo drivers who drive the Tesla Semi, we now know how big the battery pack is. The drivers told Motortrend that the electric truck has a 1,000 kWh (or 1 MWh) battery pack.

The capacity of the battery pack is not surprising. Tesla said the Semi uses 2kW per mile driven and that the range is 500 miles (about 408 kilometers).

Charging with 1,000 kWh

Chip manufacturer Frito-Lay has installed four special superchargers for the Tesla Semi. The chargers can charge the battery pack with up to 750 kW. This allows the e-trucks to be charged from almost empty to 70 percent in half an hour. A full charge takes about 90 minutes.

Much is still unclear when it comes to electric trucks

Although the Semi’s battery numbers have not yet been confirmed by Tesla, all indications are that the battery pack has a capacity of 1,000 kWh. The battery ensures that three electric motors, which you already know from the Model S and X Plaid, are supplied with energy.

Two of the three electric motors are responsible for the torque and are used for acceleration. The other electric motor is used to drive long distances as efficiently as possible. Fully loaded (with cargo), the electric truck weighs 81,000 pounds (36,741 kilograms).

How much the electric vehicle itself weighs and how far you can drive with less or no load is still unclear. The price of the Tesla Semi is also not yet known. The colossus is said to cost about 2 tons.
