Let’s go for a ride in a Volvo VNR electric truck

Here on The Amped EV Podcast, we talk all the time about what it’s like to drive a vehicle with an electric powertrain, but driving an electric Class 7 truck is a bit more intimidating… or is it? To show off all the nifty features of the Volvo VNR electric truck, Jason Morgan, co-host of The Amped EV Podcast and content director for Fleet Equipment was recently invited out to Greensboro, NC, to have a chance to ride along and see what the drive is like. And, as a bonus, he also spills the tea on some of the features of the next iteration of this truck (more range and a faster charge time being a few of the big ones).

This is an audio-only version of our episode with Ashley Murickan, Volvo Trucks North America product marketing manager. Go ahead, you’re already here – take a listen! But if you’re looking for moving pictures, click here.
