If used in a motorcycle, the resulting powertrain will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 72% and save 70 gallons of petroleum each year. Each battery pack that goes into a light-duty electric vehicle is expected to reduce petroleum use by 575 gallons per year and reduce the resulting greenhouse gas emissions by 72 percent.

This doesn’t matter all that much for drayage, but Nikola told us that one driver does a weekly loop filling up in Oakland, CA, driving down to Long Beach, then out to Ontario, then filling up and heading back to Oakland. This is too long a trip for most BEV trucks (except one, at least – we’ve seen the Tesla Semi do similar mileage ).

So, if you provide EV charging, you get that EV driver who’s coming in pollution-free. Level 1 [120 V AC] works terrifyingly slow if you’re used to the gas station model, but many of our fleet customers drive less than 20 miles a day. EV drivers today are generally more affluent, so there’s more to spend. This is not theory.

Americas big gas guzzlers and polluters are not the cars that about half the country drives around. Adding up the savings Tapping into the commercial vehicle market with plug-in hybrids is a smart strategy for converting the entire automotive market to electric vehicles. Its the trucks, stupid.

Just four months ago, in October, the UN’s IPCC Climate Report gave us, at best, 12 years to take bold and drastic action in cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if we want to limit the level of already baked-in climate catastrophe. That’s exactly what the California cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Hayward, Richmond, and Santa Cruz have done.
