You might not be American. I had the same confusion when I called 911 to report an accident driving across the US and they asked me if the truck was a "semi".

But even if it's a type of truck, calling it a semi electric truck is weird. I would have expected it to be an electric semi truck, or something.

I’ve been trying to work out the relevance of you driving a Porsche and the weird phasing (you called your car?). Ironic confusion given the discussion on regional lanagaue variations.

Maybe it should have been an "electric semi truck"
