  Might-E Truck is a fully electric, mid-sized work vehicle manufactured by Canadian Electric Vehicles in British Columbia, Canada. It is designed for use as a utility, work, urban or leisure vehicle and is manufactured using solely standard North American automotive parts. With a top speed of 40 km/h (25 mph), Might-E Truck is road legal and meets the requirements for a Low Speed Vehicle or Neighborhood Electric Vehicle.
  
  ## History
  
  The first Might-E Truck model was first designed and built in 1996 by Canadian Electric Vehicles and featured a Direct current electrical system. Since then, physical changes have been made to both the chassis and body. As well, recent improvements in both batteries and electrical systems have resulted in a much more efficient and long lasting unit.
  
  ## Components
  
  Might-E Truck is powered by 12, 225 amp hour 6 volt, lead acid batteries giving it a range of up to 90 km (56 mi). The batteries supply a 550 amp alternating current controller which then powers a 25 horsepower electric motor. The motor runs directly to the rear gear box and into the rear differential. This enables users without knowledge of standard transmission operation to use the vehicle as well as reduces maintenance.
