Fleets tested Volvo VNR Electric Class 8 tractors for three years: Here’s what they learned. Some makers suggest hydrogen fuel cells will be the way to go; the most promising application seems to be long-haul trucking with few or no stops. However, heavy-duty electric trucks from traditional makers have started to hit the market.

The electric road ahead for heavy trucks is not exactly clear, and there are several roadblocks, some obvious and some far less so. Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Soon they won’t have a choice.

We both know that 20% of California’s electric power is used just to move water from the North down here to the South and all the other places it goes. Among other things our electric use has been cut by over 50% in the last year. I now devote my full time to working on environmental and energy issues.

Coulomb takes a networking approach and applies that technology to the job of charging electric vehicles. How's that for an endorsement?
