Prepare for the EV Acceleration
Prepare for the EV Acceleration
Posted on January 22, 2022
Over the past few years, the automotive industry has begun to shift from gas-powered engines to all-electric vehicles. Each year, the demand for EV vehicles continues to grow, and it is not only in the light vehicle segment. More and more commercial vehicles are starting to turn to all-electric powertrains because they are more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective in the long run. If you have been thinking about EV vehicles for your commercial trucking business, there is no better time than the present. Here is a look at what you need to know about the EV acceleration for commercial vehicles.
The World is Ready for All-Electric Commercial Vehicles
It seems like every month, you hear of more public charging stations popping up around the country. Recently Daimler Truck announced that it had opened the first-ever heavy-duty electric truck charging statin. The new development is called the "Electric Island," and it is specially designed to charge electric semi-trucks, busses, and other commercial EVs at a fast rate. In fact, Daimler Trucks recently announced that its electric island will be equipped with 1+ megawatt chargers, which will be able to charge the battery four times faster than the current fast-charging systems that are made for light-duty trucks.
Policy Incentives
There are currently several incentives available to companies who purchase EV vehicles. In the future, there is expected to be more legislation passed that would create even more incentives for companies that are purchasing new EV vehicles, as well as additional cash incentives for companies that have already purchased their fleet of EV vehicles.
If you are looking for a way to grow your business, while also receiving a handsome profit during the growth period, then it may be in your best interest to purchase all-electric vehicles for your fleet enterprise.
More Electric Commercial Vehicles are Coming Soon
It is a good thing that there are more charging stations being created for all-electric commercial vehicles. According to Mordor Intelligence, there are about to be a lot more all-electric trucks to hit the market in the next few years.
In 2020, the electric truck market hit a slight decline because of the pandemic. Now, however, things are starting to pick up again. And with many companies feeling the pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, the demand for all-electric trucks is higher than ever. In fact, it is estimated that the electric truck market will be a 44-billion-dollar market by the end of 2026.
