Faster Charging — Opportunities and Challenges at 350KW and Higher
Most commercial vehicle charging today is limited to between 150 and 350 kW. While charging at this level meets the needs of many fleets, as the use of commercial battery electric vehicles expands, there will be use cases that will benefit from higher-powered charging, adding hundreds of miles of range to a heavy-duty truck during a rest break. Experts in this session will discuss the opportunities and challenges of moving to much faster charging speeds.
Learn about emerging truck and charging infrastructure technologies supporting higher-power charging
Understand the use cases where high-power charging makes sense and the challenges of managing high-power charging
Explore the forecasted utility pressures and opportunities of electric fleet customers charging at very high levels
Learn about actions to take to support high-power charging at the fleet and utility level
