MORE than US$13 million from the california Energy Commission (CEC) has been awarded to start the states high-power charging infrastructure for medium and heavy-duty vehicles, reports the American Journal of Commerce.
Recipients are Research Hub for Electric Technologies in Truck Applications (RHETTA), which will work with low-income and native Indian communities and have them involved in creating and guiding the initiative.
Phase one of the RHETTA project will begin this month, with the goal of developing, testing, and implementing high-power electric vehicle (EV) chargers for trucks near Southern California's two ports.
The project will work toward developing high-power chargers that can provide 100 miles of range in less than 10 minutes and cost less than $500 kW. Each pilot site will have two charging units that will serve as demonstrations sites to test and validate their use and impact.
The high-power charging support extending the range of electric trucks and increase their market penetration. The first phase of the project runs through 2025.
Other key elements include the creation of electrifying transportation is central to the clean energy transition, and this project has tremendous value in the adoption of electric, zero-emission trucks along one of the heaviest traveled corridors in Southern California,' said EPRI President and CEO Arshad Mansoor. 'Proven successful, high-power charging could be replicated throughout the country, accelerating the clean energy economy.'
Project partners include: Southern California Edison; Southern California Association of Governments; GRID Alternatives; Cambridge Systematics, Burns & McDonnell Engineering, Momentum, ORBCOMM, GNA; Paul International, MMX, and TravelCenters of America, as well as world-class labs and universities - including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory and University of California, Riverside.
