An electrical vehicular system for powering a semi-trailer truck provides a tractor unit and semi-trailers detachably coupled together with a trailer hitch connector. The tractor unit has a scalable chassis equipped with interchangeable body components that easily attach and detach to change appearance and functionality of the tractor unit and semi-trailers. A rear hitch platform on the tractor unit couples to, and hauls the semi-trailers. The tractor and semi-trailers are electrically powered through an arrangement of solar cell assemblies that recharge batteries in the wheel hubs of the tractor and/or semi-trailers. The solar cell assemblies operate on the tractor roof, sidewalls, and trailer roof. The tractor unit has an interior tractor cabin that forms a customizable center driving position for increased visibility, a sleeping portion for sleeping, and a living portion for operating and entertaining. A computer and a software program control operation and charging of tractor unit.
