A dozen medium- and heavy-duty vehicles came together for testing of a megawatt charging system at Daimler Truck North America’s Electric Island.
The suite of Xos DC Fast Chargers are compatible with both passenger and commercial electric vehicles.
The Brisbane-based Tritium company manufactures direct-current (DC) fast chargers for EVs and its new facility in Tennessee should generate over 500 jobs and produce approximately 30,000 fast-charging units per year.
Rhombus Energy Solutions and Nuvve Holding Corp.'s 60kW vehicle-to-grid capable DC fast charger power control system and dispenser have been added to the approved product list for medium- and heavy-duty EVs.
The project provides electric vehicle owners with widespread access to DC fast charging.
The answers will dictate site design, energy management considerations, software needs, home charging requirements, and fleet policy updates. Without the proper attention, fleet operators face ballooning and unexpected costs.
The all-new electrified MX-30 represents Mazda’s first EV addition to its vehicle portfolio. It debuts in California in fall 2021. Its 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery can be charged to 80% in about 36 minutes using DC fast charging.
Faster charging will enable New York City to phase out more gas-powered vehicles and replace them with electric vehicles.
Penske’s journey into the complex world of figuring out charging for medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks began a little over two years ago when it teamed up with Daimler Trucks North America for the Freightliner Electric Innovation Fleet of eCascadia and eM2 106 trucks.
While the future of electrification infrastructure is DC fast charging, some fleets may never need it. James Kennedy of Tritium explains the decision process.
