🌐 EV/AV 9Zero Meetup: Freight Electrification, Charging, and Autonomy
Welcome back to the 🌐 9Zero EV/AV Cluster Meetup 🌐 where builders, operators, and enthusiasts come together to explore the intersection of electric and autonomous mobility.
Our second session dives deep into freight electrification & charging, a rapidly evolving space reshaping how goods move, charge, and eventually drive themselves. We’ll explore what it takes to electrify & charge medium and heavy duty fleets (MDHD), develop reliable charging hubs, manage high-power energy demand, and future-proof today’s infrastructure for autonomy.
⚡️Discussion Highlights:
Why freight electrification is both critical and uniquely challenging in the U.S.
Inside EV Realty’s new San Bernardino charging hub: how it’s built and why it matters
Lessons from Einride on deploying and managing electric freight fleets and charging infrastructure
How autonomy could reshape the design and operation of MDHD charging sites
