According to Greenspace E-Mobility, the battery-powered heavy-duty truck will haul cargo on the I-35 binational corridor connecting Mexico and Texas.</p><section><span class="svg-search">                </span> <div>  </div> <div>The first Windrose E700 in the U.S.</div> <div>Photo by: Windrose</div> </section><div></div><p>Windrose claims that its truck is fully certified across Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. It expects approval in Oceania in the second half of this year.</p><p>The Global E700 is a direct competitor for the Tesla Semi, which appears to have served as the main source of design inspiration for Windrose. That said, both the Semi and the Global E700 also have to contend with rivals from Freightliner, Volvo, and Peterbilt.</p><p>Specs-wise, Windrose’s first commercially available model in the U.S. can hold its own against the best of them. It’s powered by a massive 705-kilowatt-hour lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack that runs at 800 volts. The battery feeds a 1,400-horsepower rear electric motor and enables a 416-mile estimated driving range with a full load.</p>    <hr/>    <div>        <span class="normal-label-xlarge">Tell us what you think!</span>        <div>                                                    <div>                <span class="top-counter-comments-prefix">View</span>                                    <div>                        <div></div>                    </div>                                <span class="top-counter-comments-suffix">Comments</span>            </div>        </div>    </div>    <hr/><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Rectangle_rectangle_1_1775715956"></div></div><p>Charging can be done via an MCS connector, in which case it can accept up to 870 kilowatts, or via two CCS connectors at once. The startup claims a top-up from 20% to 80% takes 38 minutes. In the United States, the Windrose Global E700 is listed at $300,000, but the company claims the truck is eligible for a $120,000 subsidy from the state of California.</p><p>By comparison, the Tesla Semi’s 500-mile version, which can be charged at 1.2 megawatts through a single connector, is reportedly priced from $290,000, according to Electrek. Dozens of Semis are already on America’s roads, with more on the way, as Tesla ramps up manufacturing.</p><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Native_native_3_1775715956"></div></div><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Native_native_2_1775715956"></div></div><p>Meanwhile, Windrose claims that mass deliveries will begin in the third quarter of this year, when customers who pre-paid 60% of the truck’s price will start receiving their rigs. Standard delivery, for customers who paid a 5% deposit, is scheduled for the fourth quarter.</p><section> <p>More Electric Big Rigs</p> <div> <div>                    'The Chinese Will Eat Our Lunch': Europe's EV Trucking Industry Is Scared As Hell </div> <div>                    Tesla Opened Its First Semi Truck Megacharger That's Not At A Tesla Factory </div> <div>                    Aurora’s Driverless Trucks Can Now Run Longer Than Humans Drivers Are Legally Allowed </div> <div>                    Mercedes-Benz Is Putting This Hydrogen Electric Semi Truck Into Production </div> </div> </section><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Rectangle_rectangle_2_1775715956"></div></div><p></p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <section><p><span>We want your opinion!</span></p><div><p>What would you like to see on Insideevs.com?</p>Take our 3 minute survey.</div><p>- The InsideEVs team</p></section>                                                                                                    <div>                                <div>                                    Share this Story                                </div>                                <div>                                    <ul>                            <li>                                                                                                                                            Facebook                                                                        </li>                                    <li>                                                                                                                                            X                                                                        </li>                            <li>                                                                                                                                            LinkedIn                                                                        </li>                            <li>                                                                                                                                            Flipboard                                                                        </li>                                                    <li>                                                                                                                                            Reddit                                                                        </li>                            <li>                                                                                                                                            WhatsApp                                                                        </li>                            <li>                                                                                                                                            E-Mail                                                                        </li>                                                                                    <li>                                                                                                                                                 copy                                                                        </li>                    </ul>                                </div>                                                                                                            <div>                                            <div>                                                                                                                                                                                                    <span class="top-counter-comments-label">GO TO COMMENTS</span>                                                                                                     <div>                                                        <span>(</span>                                                        <div></div>                                                        <span>)</span>                                                    </div>                                                                                            </div>                                        </div>                                                                                                </div>                                                            <div>                                    <div>                                        <span>Got a tip for us?
