The dawn electric semitrucks
and other medium- and heavy-
duty commercial vehicles has
arrived, and the technology is
going widely adopted, we
have come grips with what
this means for our electrical
infrastructure. The power demand is
multiples higher and requires thoughtful grid planning and careful
management peak power and power fluctuations avoid voltage drops,

. Medium-
and heavy-duty vehicles are large sources greenhouse gas emissions in
both the U.
High-speed charging for heavy-
duty electric vehicles (EVs) isn’t like charging car. Grid stability will need real-
time balancing supply and demand.S
