Peterbilt 536EV for sale in BC
Battery-electric Class 6 pickup-and-delivery truck
Overview
The Peterbilt Model 536EV is the battery-electric version of the Class 6 medium-duty 536, built for pickup-and-delivery and regional routes that start and end at a depot. It runs the PACCAR ePowertrain, keeps the wide medium-duty cab and body-builder interfaces of the diesel truck, and adds an electric power take-off so the body can work without an engine idling.
Built for British Columbia
BC's clean hydro grid and its dense urban delivery work make the 536EV a natural first electric truck for Lower Mainland fleets: parcel and grocery routes in Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond, and municipal and campus fleets in Victoria and Kelowna that park in one yard every night. The quiet drive matters on early-morning residential and downtown routes with noise restrictions.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Peterbilt 536EV?
It is the battery-electric Class 6 version of the Model 536, engineered for pickup-and-delivery and regional work. It uses the PACCAR ePowertrain and the same body interfaces as the diesel 536.
What kind of routes suit the 536EV?
Fixed, repeatable daily routes that return to a single yard: parcel, grocery, beverage, municipal and campus work. We size the battery option to your actual route profile and charging window rather than to a headline figure.
Can the body run without idling?
Yes. The ePTO drives body and equipment functions electrically, so liftgates, compactors and similar equipment operate without an engine running.
Is the 536EV eligible for BC incentives?
It may qualify under the CleanBC Go Electric Commercial Vehicle Pilot medium-duty stream, depending on the program year and your fleet's eligibility. Peterbilt Pacific supports customers through the application.
Where can I charge and service it in BC?
Charging is normally installed at your own depot, and we take part in that planning. Service is handled by factory-trained technicians across our full-service BC branches.
