The median price of battery electric Class 8 tractor trucks increased 27% since model year 2020 in the United States, with the largest price increase of 40% occurring between 2020 and 2021.
The median price of battery electric Class 8 transit bus prices in the United States increased by 13% from model year 2020 to 2025.
