Evolectric Launches Gen3 CircularEV™ Kit at ACT Expo 2025

In a groundbreaking announcement made at the ACT Expo 2025, Evolectric introduced its Gen3 CircularEV™ Kit, setting a new standard for electric vehicle electrification in the commercial sector. The Gen3 Kit is designed specifically for utility trucks and specialized fleets, offering the highest payload and range available in the industry—all packaged in a shorter wheelbase design. This advancement indicates a significant leap forward, finally making electric-powered vehicles a pragmatic option for companies that rely heavily on work trucks to maintain their operations.

Practicality Meets Innovation

Jakson Alvarez, Co-Founder of Evolectric, expressed that, "Fleets require solutions that remold how they currently operate without requiring a complete overhaul of their systems." The Gen3 Kit allows these operations to transition to electric vehicles more efficiently. Moreover, this technology promises to prolong the lifespan of traditional trucks by over a decade, which aligns perfectly with the CircularEV™ platform ethos that champions sustainability and economic efficiency.

Compatibility and Versatility

The Gen3 Kit significantly broadens the compatibility spectrum, reaching the Class 3 Isuzu NPR platform in addition to other existing models in Class 4 and Class 5 categories. A major feature of the kit is its capability to support the critical wheelbase length, which measures 132.5 inches—a crucial specification that enables electrification of compact work bodies of as little as 12 feet. Such versatility ensures that various applications, including utility bodies, box trucks, and flatbeds, can seamlessly transition to electric power.

Advanced Battery Technology

One of the standout features of the Gen3 Kit is its integration of state-of-the-art battery technology, which enables impressive energy density metrics. With the advanced CATL battery technology, vehicles equipped with the Gen3 Kit can achieve a driving range of up to 150 miles, boasting energy density figures of 175 Wh/kg and 270 Wh/L. This means fleets can enjoy increased payloads without sacrificing space, with the innovative in-frame battery design ensuring that custom bodies can be retained. Furthermore, quick DC charging options that take less than an hour to complete minimize downtime, ensuring that operations can continue to run smoothly.

Financial Advantages

Transitioning to electric with Evolectric’s Gen3 Kit comes with substantial financial benefits. According to Alvarez, fleets can receive up to $103,500 in savings per vehicle upon purchase thanks to California's HVIP and ISEF incentives. Additionally, the upfront costs of the Gen3 Kit are about 45% lower than the costs associated with acquiring brand new electric trucks. Amid rising operational costs within traditional diesel fleets, clients can expect reduced operational costs by up to 75%, translating into a quicker return on investment.

Future-Ready Infrastructure

The Gen3 Kit is designed not just for current applications but is also prepared for future advancements in fleet management. Enhanced features for smarter electrification include optional Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) to bolster safety, integrated solutions for ePTO (electric Power Take-Off) systems, and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) readiness for energy integration. This forward-thinking design enables fleets to adapt quickly to evolving technological landscapes, ensuring that they remain competitive in an increasingly electrified future.

Network of Support and Installation

To ensure that electrification successes can be realized swiftly, Evolectric is actively forming a network of certified service partners and installers. Currently, installations can be performed within two weeks, with aspirations to reduce this timeframe down to just two days. Fleet service providers and local maintenance organizations are encouraged to reach out and join Evolectric's expanding network to bring reliable electrification services directly to operational fields.

Conclusion

Attendees at ACT Expo 2025 can visit Evolectric at Booth #2953 to see the Gen3 CircularEV™ Kit in action and learn how to electrify fleets efficiently without losing the essential tools of their trade. As electric solutions become increasingly vital in commercial transportation, Evolectric's innovative advancements position the company at the forefront of the sector’s transformation.
