Einride Orders 500 Tesla Semis for Amazon Logistics in Record Electric Truck Deal

Einride orders 500 Tesla $TSLA Semis in largest electric truck deal yet. The commitment expands the Swedish freight company's fleet from roughly 250 to about 750 electric trucks across five states, with Amazon $AMZN named as the primary customer. First deliveries start next month and will arrive in phases over 24 months, clearing WattEV's previous record order of 370 trucks. At quoted pricing of approximately $260,000 to $290,000 per truck, the hardware bill ranges between $130 million and $145 million, financed entirely through unnamed third parties. Einride booked $27 million in revenue during the first half of 2026 while reporting an $800 million pipeline in potential annual recurring revenue. "This deployment is yet another proof point that we can execute at the scale our customers demand." — Roozbeh Charli Placing a nine-figure hardware order via third-party debt while generating $27 million in half-year revenue shows freight electrification still relies on heavy financial engineering to work around.
