FedEx has ordered 2,000 all-electric box trucks from Harbinger in a deal reportedly worth more than USD 300 million, according to Electrek.

Harbinger estimates each electric Class 5 and 6 medium-duty box truck will cut FedEx fuel costs by around USD 20,000 a year compared with the diesel vehicle it replaces. The company says the trucks are built for a functional service life of 20 years.

Across the full order over that service life, projected fuel savings reach USD 800 million, which Electrek frames as a return on investment of about 166%. That estimate sets the reported deal value of more than USD 300 million against the lifetime diesel savings.

Water, the EV charging brand of South Korean renewable energy company Brite Energy Partners, plans to open 23 new fast-charging sites along highways across South Korea, according to electrive. The company has already opened the first site ahead of the scheduled October start, electrive reported.

The expansion will add 123 chargers along South Korean highways, according to electrive.

Once all 23 new stations are open, Water expects to have 397 chargers at 73 highway rest areas across South Korea, electrive reported.
