“Deploying Charging Infrastructure for Zero-Emission Transit and Commercial Fleets”
Jim Castelaz, Founder & CTO, Motiv Power Systems – Panelist
Session: Wednesday, October 28, 2020 from 2:50 – 3:35 pm PDT

One of the largest sources of GHG emissions are fleets of busses and medium to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The CEC is launching programs to spur the development of infrastructure to support zero-emission vehicle fleets, but many challenges must be surmounted. What demands will large, high-powered fast-charging depots place on the grid? How are the impacts on operations being addressed? How are procurements being targeted to address emissions in industrial and low-income areas?

“Battery Performance in Fleet Electrification”

Apart from passenger cars, electrifying commercial vehicle fleets — from work vans and trucks to vocational medium-duty vehicles — come with unique and amplified issues surrounding infrastructure planning, navigating incentives, vehicle selection, payload, and route planning. In this panel seminar, pioneer fleet operators will share their unique challenges, problems solved, and lessons learned from actual electric commercial vehicle deployments.
