How far can a SAGMOTO electric truck go on one charge?

The i5 urban platform delivers 200-270 km per charge depending on body and route profile; the i9 heavy EV platform reaches 250-350 km. Regenerative braking extends range in stop-start city duty.

What charging infrastructure do I need?

AC 22 kW overnight charging covers single-shift operations with a 3-5 hour full charge; DC fast charging (120 kW) reaches 80% in about 1 hour for multi-shift fleets. We provide a depot sizing worksheet with every order.

Are electric trucks viable in Africa and the Middle East?

Yes, where diesel is expensive or unreliable. Best current fit: city logistics, ports, airports, mining camps and closed-loop industrial sites with stable grid or solar. Open long-haul routes remain diesel territory.

How does the TCO compare with diesel?

At 200 km/day and current battery pricing, EV versions typically break even against diesel in 2.5-4 years on fuel and maintenance savings, before any incentive schemes.

SAGMOTO Electric Truck Ultimate Guide 2026 — i9, i5 & E9 EV Specs, Range & Charging

Updated September 10, 202614 min readBy Fenghan Trading Engineering

Electric trucks stop being a sustainability story and start being an arithmetic story the moment diesel passes a certain price in your market. This guide covers the full SAGMOTO new-energy range — the i9 heavy EV platform, the i5 urban workhorse and the E9 electric light truck — with battery options, real-world range, charging strategy, TCO math against diesel, and the export process. From Shaanxi Fenghan Trading Co., Ltd, the authorized SAGMOTO exporter. For the wider China EV truck market including Dongfeng, see our sister site dongfengevtrucks.com.

1. The SAGMOTO EV Lineup

Model	Duty	Battery	Range	Best For
i9	Heavy 4x2/8x4	282-423 kWh LFP	250-350 km	Ports, mines, heavy distribution
i5	Medium urban	100-141 kWh LFP	200-270 km	City logistics, sanitation
E9 EV	Light	81-100 kWh LFP	180-230 km	Last-mile, municipal

All configurations on the new energy category page.

2. i9 — Heavy Electric Platform

The i9 is SAGMOTO's heavy EV platform for closed-loop heavy duty: container drayage in ports, mine development hauling, and heavy urban distribution. Its 350 kW-class permanent-magnet motors deliver diesel-class torque from zero rpm, and LFP battery chemistry is chosen for cycle life and thermal stability in hot climates. Details: i9 electric truck deep dive.

3. i5 — The Urban EV Workhorse

The i5 is where EV economics already beat diesel today. As a box truck, refrigerator truck or sanitation chassis, the i5 covers typical 150-250 km urban duty with overnight AC charging and regenerative braking in traffic. Field notes: urban logistics application, cold-chain application, municipal sanitation application, and the i5 vs Volvo FE Electric comparison.

4. E9 EV — Light Electric Distribution

The E9 EV brings the same LFP battery and motor strategy to the light segment — inner-city distribution, campus logistics and municipal fleets. It shares cab and body options with the diesel E9, letting mixed fleets keep a single parts catalogue. Comparison: E9 EV vs E9 diesel.

5. Charging Strategy & Infrastructure

Single-shift city duty — AC 22 kW overnight: 3-5 h full charge, lowest infrastructure cost (a 3-phase socket per truck).
Multi-shift fleets — DC 120 kW fast: 80% in ~1 h between shifts.
Weakest-grid sites — solar + storage depot combinations; we provide the depot sizing worksheet with every order.

Climate notes: LFP chemistry tolerates 45C+ ambient with liquid-cooled packs on i9; cold-climate battery care in winter charging guide.

6. TCO vs Diesel

At 200 km/day, typical break-even is 2.5-4 years: energy cost per km drops 40-60% versus diesel (grid-dependent), and routine maintenance falls with no oil, filters or turbo. Residual battery value after 3,000+ cycles supports second-life storage. The main watch items: tyre wear from torque (manageable with eco-mode), and charging discipline.

7. FAQ

How far on one charge?

i5: 200-270 km; i9: 250-350 km; E9 EV: 180-230 km — depending on body, load and route profile.

What charging do I need?

AC 22 kW overnight covers single-shift; DC 120 kW fast charging for multi-shift fleets. Depot sizing worksheet provided with every order.

Are EVs viable in my market?

Where diesel is expensive or unreliable and duty cycles are predictable: city logistics, ports, airports, mining camps, closed industrial loops. Open long-haul remains diesel.

TCO vs diesel?

Typical break-even at 200 km/day is 2.5-4 years on fuel and maintenance savings, before incentives.
