NREL study finds most depot charging could accomodate short-haul heavy-duty electric trucks without upgrades

Green Car Congress

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.,
