SUMMARY:2023 Run on Less ELECTRIC DEPOT #5: Opportunities to Extend BEV Range
DESCRIPTION:Vehicle range is currently —and will always be — a concern of electric trucks given the cost, size and weight of batteries. Cold weather, heavy loads, and more challenging topography require more battery capacity. During this session, experts will offer options such as en route, extremely fast, and wireless charging, as well as other strategies to get more miles out of these trucks.\n\n \nThe Electric DEPOT Bootcamp is a 10-part educational series on factors needed to successfully scale electric trucks in fleet operations — hosted by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) and RMI — for fleet managers, utility planners, policymakers, and more. Run on Less – Electric DEPOT this September is focused on fleet depots with 15 or more electric trucks. The Electric DEPOT Bootcamp is designed to help the entire electric truck ecosystem understand what it takes to move to wider deployment of EVs and is designed to:\n• Increase industry awareness of the various entities that need to work together to overcome the challenges of widespread EV deployment\n• Provide professional development opportunities to decision-makers at all stages of their electrification journey\n• Synthesize quick takeaways and recommendations from NACFE and RMI’s electric truck work to date\n• Convene fleets, truck makers, utilities, regulators, NGOs, charging manufactures, to discuss best practices for scaling EVs at fleet depots\nWebinar Series Schedule at a Glance:  \nApril 25 – Best Practices for Utility-Fleet Relationships\nSpeakers will share the best practices for the emerging necessary relationships between electric utilities and trucking fleets. What is working now in the early stages and what are ideal long- term future relationships.\nMay 16 – Grants and Incentives for the Trucks and Infrastructure\nInfrastructure and truck costs are increasing rather than decreasing putting even more focus on available grants and incentives to help early adopter fleets make the financial case for investing in electric trucks.\nMay 30 – Electric Truck Developments\nTruck OEMs and their component suppliers continue to mature the performance, cost, reliability, durability and specification availability of their trucks. Experts will share future enhancements and anticipated timing.\nJune 13 – Faster Charging — Opportunities and Challenges at 350KW and Higher\nMost commercial vehicle charging in 2023 is limited to 150, maybe up to 350 kW, but faster charging is coming. Experts will discuss the opportunities and challenges of moving to much faster charging speeds to help in vehicle utilization.\nJune 27 – Opportunities to Extend BEV Range\nVehicle range is currently —and will always be — a concern of electric trucks given the cost, size and weight of batteries. Cold weather, heavy loads, and more challenging topography require more battery capacity. Experts will offer options such as en route, extreme fast and wireless charging as well as other strategies to get more miles out of these trucks.\nJuly 11 – Electricity Resiliency and Availability\nPlanning for resiliency is just part of trucking. Given existing power demands and grid capacity challenges many electric truck depots are considering microgrids. Renewable energy generation, battery backups even onsite electric generator sets are all options to improve resiliency.\nJuly 25 – Current and Future Regulations for Zero-Emission Trucks\nLocal, state and federal regulations are in the press all the time. Experts will help clarify the various laws and regulations to help fleets, manufacturers and others understand how they affect their business in various regions.\nAugust 8 – Managed Charging to Improve Availability, Cost and Range\nAs higher numbers of electric vehicles are deployed at each site, the need to manage the charging becomes even greater. Leaders will share the current and future state of using software to more effectively manage charging events.\nAugust 22 – Scaling Charging Infrastructure Equipment\nExperts will share thoughts on scaling charging equipment from a few to a dozen of chargers and ultimately to 100% of a site’s needs.\nSeptember 5 – Electric Depot Site Planning and Construction\nLessons learned for depot site planning for different phases of electric vehicle deployment as well as how to best manage the construction phase will be discussed. Special focus will be on construction while concurrently continuing all logistics operations.\nRegister\n
