Illinois has announced exciting news about its Driving a Cleaner Illinois program. The state will invest $25.1 million in driving the adoption of electric vehicles. This initiative is supported by the Rebuild Illinois capital plan and CEJA. It is a significant step towards sustainable transportation, with 643 new fast-charging ports planned across 141 locations. 🔋 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gVKHC3M3 At Noodoe, we are proud to offer our reliable 99.9% software uptime EV charging systems to government agencies and public charging to accelerate the zero-emission transition with a GSA-approved contract. #electriccars #evcharging #ElectricVehicles #fleets #energytransition #fleetelectrification #fleetmanagement #emobility #Sustainability #automotiveindustry #Electrification #renewableenergy #greenenergy #evcharginginfrastructure #charginginfrastructure #electrification #utility #infrastructure #electrictrucks #futuremobility

Standing still in today's world means you're going backwards. Are you prepared for the fast-approaching Advanced Clean Fleets deadlines impacting drayage fleets? Electric Trucks are coming, and it pays to be prepared. Along with new regulations, there are incentives to help offset upfront costs. Transitioning to zero-emission vehicles sooner rather than later can unlock these benefits and lead to a more efficient, cost-effective fleet. It's time to adopt zero-emission electric trucks: your drivers, customers and neighbors will love them, and with incentives to overcome the high cost of purchase & infrastructure installation, so as will your bottom line. #StopBurningStuff

ATTN: #Truckers The federal government is seeking input about electric truck charging infrastructure, including how it pertains to #TruckParking. Regulators and policymakers don't know what they don't know, so tell them! https://lnkd.in/gtsJtYVb

If there is a cheaper way to fuel trucks, that's great. If it's environmentally friendly, even better. There isn't any fundamental opposition in the trucking industry to electrification or hydrogen fueling so long as these forms of energy can provide the same performance as diesel. The problem is a) they don't, b) it's unclear who's going to pay for the new infrastructure. And there's a third point that goes beyond the money. There is a shortage of trucking-related real estate, period. It's going to be challenging to find space, as in any space, to build additional fueling infrastructure. If you're in Chicago and either have access to a semi truck or someone that's willing to drive you, take a trip to the Pilot or the Thorntons on 83. You might wait over 30 minutes to fuel and if you're looking for a place to park for a while... good luck! Not to mention a lot of small trucking companies don't have their own yard. Only the big companies have large terminals that could be conceivably retrofitted for these new technologies. Get your popcorn because the road to EV and hydrogen cell fleets is going to be entertaining.

California has some of the nation’s boldest #cleantransportation policies that aim to get more #electricvehicles on the road, like the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule from the California Air Resources Board. The ACT (which went into effect this year) requires manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emissions vehicles each year from 2024 to 2035. Several other states including #Maryland, #Massachusetts, #NewJersey, #NewYork, #Oregon, and #Washington have also adopted the rule. But did you know that issues with a little-known #gridtransparency tool could hinder the success of this policy? That’s because many more #EVchargers will be needed to power these vehicles. A critical barrier to installing these chargers on the grid is finding locations that don’t require expensive and time-consuming grid upgrades. Since 2019, the California Public Utilities Commission has required the state’s utilities to publish public #griddata that can help identify these sites, but ongoing inaccuracies are making that impossible. With other states looking to California’s strategy for clean trucks rollout, the impacts could be wider reaching if #California regulators fail to ensure accurate #grid data that enables developers to install the needed EV charging infrastructure.

New plan prioritizes charging infrastructure investment to match path of EV truck sales growth. https://okt.to/mqDpOr #ElectricVehicles #Decarbonization #FreightTransportSolutions

If your system’s batteries are able to live longer, it will reduce the total cost of ownership. These are 3 reasons it happens: 1️⃣ Longer-lasting batteries reduce the need for frequent replacements and maintenance. 2️⃣ Reduced downtime allows maintenance teams to focus on strategic tasks, improving efficiency. 3️⃣ Extended battery life minimizes operational disruptions, maximizing resource allocation. Make sure that you invest in long-lasting batteries for lower operational costs, increased efficiency, and a reduced total cost of ownership for railways. How are you optimizing battery technology to reduce operational costs in your railway tracking systems? #Downtime #Maintenance #Battery #Power #Strategy

The "hubs" that are referenced from the Biden Administration seem oddly familiar to what Lane VC portfolio companies Einride and Xos Trucks have shared from their market strategy and growth plans. Will the existing and new administration assist in building the infrastructure to support such? The adoption should not be on the carriers or manufacturers. They are willing however the infrastructure is not ready...yet. Lane VC hopes to assist in allocating funds and resources to the infrastructure and U.S. supply chain needs. Driving Innovation. Faster. Together.

National Infrastructure Week is a reminder that charging for electric vehicles, including medium- and heavy-duty trucks and transportation, is critical for California to meet its clean air and 2045 climate goals. Our Countdown to 2045 analysis shows that 90% of vehicles will need to run on clean electricity in the next two decades for the state to improve air quality and reach net zero. Southern California Edison (SCE)’s Charge Ready Transport program is accelerating the adoption of medium- and heavy-duty EVs by assuring available charging infrastructure. Last month, we energized WattEV, Inc.’s new depot with 12 dual-port chargers to support truck routes connecting the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles with inland destinations. Earlier this year, my teammate, Chanel Parson, participated in the grand opening of Zeem Solutions’ new medium- and heavy-duty charging site in Inglewood. SCE partnered with NFI and Electrify America to energize a charging depot in Ontario that opened in April and will allow battery-electric trucks to refill at 38 separate DC fast chargers. And just this week, Forum Mobility celebrated the groundbreaking of a drayage EV charging site at the Port of Long Beach. SCE is proud to provide the reliable electric infrastructure that makes California the leader in electrifying transportation. #infrastructureweek #cleanenergy #energy #innovation #electricvehicles #transportation #trucking https://lnkd.in/gyHWNmdn
