Battery 6 / 9
| Battery capacity, installed (gross)The XG Electric also comes with 315 kWh (three packs) or 420 kWh (four); 210 kWh (two packs) is only offered on the XF Electric. Earlier: 'up to 525 (five packs; smaller packs from 210 kWh)' | 525 (five packs) kWh | ↗ ↗ ↗ |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity, usableFive packs, per DAF's XG Electric infosheet (February 2026); 370 kWh with four packs, 277 kWh with three. DAF's technical brochure (August 2026) says up to 95 % can be used on trucks with four or five battery strings, without giving kWh | 462 (88 %) kWh | ↗ ↗ |
