Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

If you don’t build something like that, people can’t refer to it. If we’re going to hit the numbers we need to hit for fleet adoption, we need as many places for those vehicles to recharge as possible. Iron phosphate batteries are great because they’re durable, they’re cheap. WattEV’s first site is in Bakersfield.
