Charging at public points is an important criterion for customers when deciding in favour of battery-electric trucks. MAN has developed the ‘eTruck ready standard’ to ensure that charging in public does not end at unsuitable car charging sites. This helps customers to find truck-compatible points. Manoeuvrability and height and weight restrictions are among the criteria.
In the MAN Charge&Go digital map, the truck-compatible charging points are listed in two levels: eTruck ready and eTruck limited. While eTruck ready shows unrestricted truck charging points, the charging points labelled as limited have restrictions – for example in terms of vehicle length.
MAN Charge&Go handles the charging process at charging points from different providers. The driver authenticates the charge using a card and the payment process is handled in the background. The charging service was developed so that mixed fleets can also use the offer. A consolidated invoice at the end of the month provides an overview of the charging costs for the entire fleet at all charging points used.
