Electric roll-off refuse vehicle

An electric roll-off vehicle comprising:

• a chassis extending a longitudinal length of the electric roll-off vehicle;
• a cab coupled to a front end of the chassis;
• an electric energy storage device coupled to the chassis;
• an electric drive motor coupled to the chassis and electrically connected to the electric energy storage device for driving the electric roll-off vehicle;
• a roll-off body assembly coupled to the chassis and positioned behind the cab, the roll-off body assembly comprising:
• a roll-off body extending at least partially along the longitudinal length of the electric roll-off vehicle;
• a body actuator configured to move a front end of the roll-off body;
• a container lift assembly comprising a cable and a lift motor, wherein the container lift assembly is configured to pull an object onto the roll-off body;
• a tarp cover assembly coupled to the chassis at a front end of the roll-off body assembly;
• and
• a cowl assembly comprising:
• a front shroud coupled to and positioned above the cab;
• and
• a rear shroud coupled to the tarp cover assembly and defining a storage compartment below the rear shroud and between the cab and the roll-off body assembly.

A method of assembling an electric roll-off vehicle, the method comprising:

• coupling one or more energy storage devices to a chassis of the electric roll-off vehicle, wherein the electric roll-off vehicle comprises:
• a cab coupled to the chassis at a front end thereof;
• and
• an electric drive motor coupled to the energy storage devices, the electric drive motor configured to drive the electric roll-off vehicle, wherein the one or more energy storage devices are positioned rearward of the cab of the electric roll-off vehicle;
• coupling a roll-off body to the chassis rearward of the cab, the roll-off body pivotable relative to the chassis to load or unload an object onto the roll-off body;
• and
• coupling a body actuator to the roll-off body and the chassis so that the body actuator is configured to raise or lower the roll-off body to load or unload the object onto the roll-off body and so that the body actuator is powered by the one or more energy storage devices.
