Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc.;
Utilities, vehicle-to-home (V2H), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Key for success here is working with utilities and emerging standards for messaging and communications between the vehicle and the grid and utility. Ford is a little bearish on the concept of V2G at this point, he said. Utility partnership and renewable power generation.
million to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) under the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program to build and to test seven hybrid fuel-cell, Class 8 trucks to transport cargo at the LongBeach and Los Angeles ports.

.” Faster charging is typically more expensive because it requires an electrical system to operate at peak power, for which utilities levy higher demand charges, since it puts more stress on the electric grid. However, these higher energy costs can often be managed through a sophisticated EV service platform for smart charging.
Electrek’s Take The Port of Los Angeles, along with the Port of LongBeach, are leading the charge (sorry) for heavy equipment electrification – and their success stories can and will reverberate throughout the shipping and logistics industries. That said, a full MW battery is bananas.
That push is particularly focused on the trucking routes between the Ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach and the distribution centers of the Inland Empire – which Ontario lies at the heart of.
