AUGUST 2, 2023

The electric road ahead for heavy trucks is not exactly clear, and there are several roadblocks, some obvious and some far less so. Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Soon they won’t have a choice.
