The biggest barrier to transitioning to EV trucking is cost and infrstructure. Industry leaders stress that fleets adding electric trucks should focus on charging infrastructure first. Electric trucks are expensive, with Class 8 trucks costing $400,000. Substantial investments in charging infrastructure are also required. The Clean Freight Coalition estimates $620 billion for infrastructure and $370 billion for utilities to fully electrify the U.S. commercial truck fleet. With increasing distributed generation and deferred grid maintenance, the grid must expand to meet new demands. Companies like Cyclum and Voltera are developing networks of charging stations with amenities to support electric fleets, making the transition more manageable and cost-effective. It will be interesting to see how far this goes. Is EV really the technology we wan to be investing in for the long term given the significant capital investment required? https://lnkd.in/gmSAcTNQ

🚚 Key takeaway from a new RMI study on how to improve the EV charging landscape for drayage: Charging needs to be distributed over a larger area and further away from ports, in places where there is already trucking activity.

If you think vehicles are the most important thing in planning your zero-emission fleet, think again. It’s charging that should be front and centre, says an expert panel. #ElectricVehicles #HeavyDuty #Charging #ElectricFleet https://lnkd.in/e62jfbct

WattEV, Inc. is set to unveil the US' largest #electricVehicle charging facility near Sacramento International Airport in 2025. Backed by a $34M federal grant, the facility will house 120 chargers, including 30 fast chargers for passenger vehicles and 90 for commercial EVs. Spanning over 100 acres, the facility will be powered by #solarEnergy and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Located near major distribution centers, this initiative supports the shift towards a zero-emission U.S. trucking industry. #EVCharging #CleanTransportation #WattEV #ZeroEmissions https://lnkd.in/e6b-8svt

As cities and transit agencies transition their fleets to electric vehicles, trucks and buses, they face challenges from product availability, costs and changing technology to workforce and equity issues and ensuring an adequate supply of electric power to keep the vehicles running, according to a report from the World Resources Institute. #electrification #fleetmanagement
