The T880E uses a CCS1 DC charge port featuring an industry-leading 350 kW peak charge rate and can charge up to 90 percent in approximately two hours.  

T880E will feature factory-installed options for high and low-voltage ePTO ports, which can be utilized to power equipment, a mechanical ePTO, or body configurations in conjunction with aftermarket body upfitters.

T880E leverages the features of its combustion counterpart as it is offered in both set-back front axle and set-forward front axle configurations with the same multi-piece hood construction as the T880.
