Four key findings have been identified by the E-Truck Task Force as barriers currently affecting the growth and viability of E-Truck sales; 1) high incremental cost, 2) poor vehicle quality and support from supplier(s), 3) unexpected costs and energy planning with infrastructure, and 4) reduced operation in extreme climates. The E-Truck Task Force developed a set of action-oriented recommendations for overcoming each barrier. 1. E-Truck Task Force Background 1.1 Key Findings from 2012 E-TTF Report CALSTART’s E-Truck Task Force (E-TTF) was originally created in 2011 to help understand, support and expand the production and successful deployment and use of plug-in electric trucks and buses. CALSTART published E-Truck Task Force Findings and Recommendations in 2012 based on a year-long research and industry engagement process. In that report CALSTART outlined the best use profiles for successful E-Truck deployment, provided a business case calculator for fleets, highlighted early adopter user experience, developed an infrastructure planning guide, and then established industry recommendations of actions required to speed market success.
