Peterbilt's Model 220EV offers a zero emissions, high-performance vehicle for clean, efficient operation.
This Quick Start Guide outlines the unique and important guidelines for operating the 220EV.
1) SAFETY
a. Cables or connectors that are colored in bright orange signify high voltage. Before operating the vehicle, visually check for damaged
components or low hanging cables below the truck. If you see anything damaged or in a questionable state, have an authorized
Peterbilt technician examine and repair the components without delay. Do not touch, attempt to remove, or service high voltage parts.
Ignoring this warning will create risk of injury or death to yourself and bystanders.
Your dealer's service center is the best place to have your vehicle repaired. Properly maintained high voltage personal protective
equipment is required. If you are not a qualified mechanic for the Peterbilt 220EV, leave all repairs to an authorized service facility.
Authorized service facilities are equipped to perform repairs safely and correctly.
b. Electric Vehicles can be very quiet in operation, even when 'running'. Because of this, the vehicle operator must remain aware of nearby
vehicles or pedestrians at all times.
c. 'Truck running' is indicated by the Power Gauge needle moving to the vertical position on the gauge that lies in between the green
'Charge' region and the blue '%' power applied region. This means the vehicle is ready to drive.
When the vehicle is ready to drive it will also display "Ready" on the electrification display in the right corner.

220EV QUICK START GUIDE 2) CHARGING / BATTERIES Before plugging the 220EV to a charger, ensure that the 12V disconnect switch (located behind the cab on the passenger side) is in the ‘on’ position. For best results wait a minimum of 2 minutes after vehicle shutdown to plug. a. - Page 3 220EV QUICK START GUIDE Emergency Physical Stop Charger Tell-tale B Panel Tell-tale Charging Button (Left) Standard Stop Charging Button (Right) e. Battery balancing occurs during the last 10% of charging. For the longevity of the battery system make sure to fully charge the truck at least once a week.
- Page 4 220EV QUICK START GUIDE f. Low voltage batteries i. The 220EV is equipped with two 12V batteries in series for a cab system voltage of 24V. These batteries are used to power the cab electronics and enable starting, just like a diesel truck. When the truck is ‘running’ these 12V batteries are filled by a high voltage to low voltage inverter which is analogous to an alternator on a diesel truck.

If the vehicle is in motion and the regenerative braking is engaged, the vehicle will be slowed down when the operator’s foot eases off the accelerator pedal. This is energy being put back into the batteries. There is single regenerative braking setting, and it can be activated using the switch on the steering wheel.

The truck will automatically adjust the battery temperature by heating them when cold, or cooling them when hot. 1. This means temperature extremes will affect vehicle range. Plan for reduced range in these conditions. ii.
