Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

I was a big part of building the first-of-its-kind—at least in the Western world that we knew of—heavy-duty charging site in Portland, Oregon. They’re building a massive site with onsite generation, solar+storage, which is important within the Megawatt Charging System. Hydrogen fits all those things really well. It won’t work.
