  • Key Barriers Affecting E-Truck Adoption, Industry and Policy Implications, and Recommendations to Move the Market Forward
    World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 8 - ISSN 2032-6653 - ©2016 WEVA Page WEVJ8-0657 EVS29 Symposium Montréal, Québec, Canada, June 19-22, 2016 2015 E-Truck Task Force: Key Barriers Affecting E-Truck Adoption, Industry and Policy Implications, and Recommendations to Move the Market Forward Tom Brotherton1, Alycia Gilde, Jasna Tomic 1CALSTART, 48 S Chester Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106, [email protected] Summary CALSTART’s E-Truck Task Force (ETTF) produced a report outlining the markets for electric drive trucks (E-Trucks), the prime barriers facing their success and provided key findings and recommendations to support expanding E-Truck adoption. 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.

    Transportation Energy Data Book Quick Facts Petroleum In 2015 the U.S. produced almost 13 million barrels of petroleum per day (mmbd), or almost 14% of the world’s 93.4 mmbd. The U.S. consumed 19.1 mmbd, or 21% of the world’s 92.5 mmbd in 2014. U.S. transportation petroleum use was 70% of total U.S. petroleum use in 2015. In 2015 U.S. transportation petroleum use was 107% of total U.S. petroleum production. Petroleum comprised 92% of U.S. transportation energy use in 2015. Cars and light trucks accounted for 64% of U.S. transportation petroleum use in 2014. Medium trucks (Class 3‐6) accounted for 4% of U.S. transportation petroleum use in 2014. Heavy trucks (Class 7‐8) and buses accounted for 19% of U.S. transportation petroleum use in 2014. Nonhighway modes accounted for the rest of U.S. transportation petroleum use in 2014 (12%). Energy In 2015 U.S. transportation energy use accounted for over 28% of total U.S. energy use. Cars and light trucks accounted for 59% of U.S. transportation energy use in 2014.

The result of a smart charging project by Jämtkraft, ABB and Charge Storm at Jämtkraft headquarters in Östersund. Per Lundqvist and Timo Pietilä with a Mercedes Vito, one of the electric cars that Post Nord is testing in the Östersund area. Welcome to the revised 2012 Global Guide to Electric and Plug­ in­Hybrid Cars! This Buyers Guide is published by SÖT – a cooperation between the cities Sundsvall (Sweden), Östersund (Sweden) and Trondheim (Norway). The purpose of the SÖT project is to strengthen the three cities and the region through cooperation in infrastructure, sustainable communications, knowledge and competence as well as in culture and tourism. Correct and independent information about electric and plug‐in hybrid cars on the market is an important part of the infrastructure and sustainable communications section of the SÖT project. The SÖT cities present the Buyers Guide 2012 for Electric and Plug‐In Hybrid Car in cooperation with the power companies Jämtkraft, Sundsvall Energi, Trondheim Energi and Trønder Energi. This guide gives an overview of most models available for the model year 2012 and models that are expected to be available within the next year. The guide contains prices, range per charge, charging times, battery types, information about safety, links to further information and much more. The purpose of the guide is to be a reference for cities, private and public organizations and consumers that consider purchasing electric or plug‐in hybrids, or just want to know more about the market.
