In most cases the existing technology grid can accommodate truck charging at depots. That perception is shifting, and our research suggests that certain short-haul operations can be electrified today with relatively low-power depot charging that won’t overwhelm the grid. Their paper appears in the journal Nature Energy. Borlaug, B.,
