In most cases the existing technology grid can accommodate truck charging at depots. For years, the trucking industry has been skeptical of heavy-duty electric vehicles. Commercial heavy-duty trucking operations are motivated to reduce operating costs. Their paper appears in the journal Nature Energy. Borlaug, B., Muratori, M.,

There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Further, like other industries, the energy business has become digitized , meaning the skills needed are different from those previously required. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.”
