Are Electric Bucket Trucks Worth the Investment in 2025?

[Butch232]

Has anyone here considered or used electric bucket trucks in 2025? With the push towards sustainability and reduced emissions, I’m curious if they’re worth the investment for construction and utility companies. Are the cost savings in maintenance and fuel significant enough to justify the higher upfront costs? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Definitely a hot topic right now! I've seen a couple electric bucket trucks in action and honestly, the quiet operation alone is a game changer—especially for early morning or residential work. The upfront cost is still steep, but the savings on fuel and fewer moving parts for maintenance seem to balance it out over time. Plus, with stricter emissions rules popping up, it might be smart to get ahead of the curve.
