Kenworth K270E and K370E Electric Vehicles Eligible for Base $85,000 Voucher Incentive Under 2022 CARB HVIP
The Kenworth K270E Class 6 and K370E Class 7 battery electric vehicles are eligible for a base $85,000 voucher incentive available to qualifying California purchasers from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The Kenworth K270E and K370E battery electric vehicles offer direct-drive motors rated at 355 hp for the K270E and 469 hp for the K370E. The electric powertrain is available with high-density battery packs of 141kWh, 209kWh and 282kWh that deliver up to a 100-, 150- and 200-mile range, respectively.
The new models utilize a DC fast-charging system capable of fast re-charge in as quick as one-hour, which make the Kenworth K270E and K370E cabovers ideal for local pickup and delivery, as well as short regional haul operations. End-of-shift and overnight AC charging is also offered.
For more information, contact your Kenworth dealer and visit the CARB HVIP website (www.CaliforniaHVIP.org). The site offers direct links to information on the Kenworth K270E (www.californiahvip.org/vehicles/kenworth-k270e-battery-electric-truck) and Kenworth K370E (www.californiahvip.org/vehicles/kenworth-k370e-battery-electric-truck). The HVIP program anticipates accepting new voucher requests soon. Kenworth dealers across the country are taking orders now from fleets with California operations and will be ready to apply for funding when HVIP opens this year.
In addition to the K270E and K370E, the Kenworth Driving To Zero Emissions™ initiative incorporates the Class 8 Kenworth T680E and new EV charging stations.
