http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com/produ...&itemid=128 The Newton is powered by four large 278v batteries positioned on the underside of the truck that can propel the vehicle up to 50mph. Fully charged, the vehicle has a range of 130 miles. It can be re-charged on board or through domestic mains or a standard three-phase socket. As well as being zero emission, the Newton’s body panels are built from an ultra light, state-of-the-art fully recyclable composite material manufactured by Omnia. This substantially reduces body weight and increases the payload capacity of 4,000kg.

Good one to keep in your pocket for when the next person says, "Hey, well, these little EVs and hybrids are great. But I need a real MAN's truck. No way you're powering a real truck with batteries!"
