Aggressive #HDEV electrification deadlines + yearslong grid upgrade timelines = a recipe for failed targets. As reported by Canary Media Inc.'s Jeff St. John (link below), efforts to electrify fleet and freight transportation projects along the West Coast are facing delays due to utility projects that stretch well into the next decade. Although legislative adjustments are underway to speed up energization and service upgrades, few in the commercial transportation sector believe these efforts are enough to get HDEV charging infrastructure in the ground as quickly as it is needed. “No one’s going to buy a fancy EV truck if they can’t charge it,” says Sky Stanfield for the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC). We couldn't agree more and believe that a wide range of charging solutions are key to unlocking fleet electrification in California and beyond. Battery-integrated systems with MegaCharge capabilities will play an important role in this transition and will be available on much quicker timelines than grid upgrades.
