Electrifying the Future of Freight: Strategies to Accelerate Medium and Heavy-Duty Charging Infrastructure Deployment

Medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) trucks, in many ways, are perfect candidates for electrification. They consume more oil and emit more harmful pollutants than passenger cars, leaving significant room to maximize electric vehicles’ (EVs’) primary benefits: lower fuel cost and reduced emissions.

The insights gained from this project offer valuable lessons to other municipalities and fleets operating heavy-duty vehicles as they illustrate a path forward for electrification through documented real-world application. Learnings from pilot deployments also help to inform decision-making for scaling and continuing the transition to zero emission. “This deployment and real-world performance give us conviction to continue evaluating electric options across our fleet. It also demonstrates that local governments don’t have to choose between reliable operations and environmental responsibility,” says Danna Widmar, assistant town manager.
