How to make heavy-duty electric trucks work in practice

Charged EVs

Some makers suggest hydrogen fuel cells will be the way to go; the most promising application seems to be long-haul trucking with few or no stops. Furthermore, like passenger EVs, their carbon emissions per mile will fall over their lifetimes as the grids they’re charged on decarbonize. But today, heavy trucks remain a diesel world.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.

As the off-road vehicle market rushes to electrify, standards are lagging behind

Charged EVs

And then there’s interoperability and all those standards that we take for granted in the 12- and 24-volt world. Therefore, a lot of electric and hydrogen vehicles are being brought into that market quickly. Geoff Schwartz: Yeah, things like what’s the proper spacing of wiring and stuff like that. Garbage trucks. It’s a lot of power.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
