    An interesting report, one wonders if the Australian trucking industry has made or is making a similar effort. It would make a lot of sense.

    Key findings from the report:

    • Preparing today's commercial vehicle fleet for electrification would require the commercial vehicle industry to invest upwards of $620 billion in charging infrastructure alone, including chargers, site infrastructure and electric service upgrades; and
    • Utilities would need to invest $370 billion to upgrade their grid networks to meet the demands of just commercial vehicles.
