Addressing Unique Infrastructure Challenges of Medium & Heavy-Duty EVs

As medium and heavy-duty electric vehicles (MHD EVs) grow in numbers, fleet operators and infrastructure providers face unique challenges in scaling charging solutions that can support the demands of these vehicles. In this panel, experts from auto OEMs, a leading equipment manufacturer, and a fleet operator will share their insights on overcoming the critical infrastructure hurdles for MHD EV deployment, offering strategies that blend innovation with real-world practicality.

Key discussion topics include:

• Overcoming Grid Capacity Constraints: Addressing the high energy demands of MHD EVs with interim solutions such as energy storage, managed charging, and smart charging to avoid grid strain and ensure reliability.
• Scaling Infrastructure Cost-Effectively: Strategies to enable fleet expansion without incurring prohibitive costs, focusing on flexible and adaptable infrastructure that can accommodate future growth.
• Operational Solutions for Fleet Needs: Practical approaches to managing operational challenges like vehicle range and strategic placement of charging depots to optimize fleet performance.
• Building Strategic Partnerships: Exploring the value of collaboration among fleets, infrastructure providers, utility companies, and technology firms to create a resilient and scalable ecosystem for MHD EV charging.
