Where the electric last mile is headed

The Amped EV Podcast ·

2022/08/31

Here's the definitive truth: As the technology stands today, electric vehicles are a fantastic fit for some applications and not so great for others. Last-mile delivery, those routes that bring a product from the warehouse shelf to the customer’s doorstep, happens to fall into that first category. EVs fit in so well here because last-mile offers defined routes that can be planned to maximize the electric vehicle’s range and recharging opportunities.We've already seen a few big names – including

What installing EV infrastructure REALLY takes – with...

The Amped EV Podcast ·

2022/08/23

For electric vehicles to ultimately work – I mean really work, at scale – it's going to take so much more than a fancy-looking new car or truck with a fancy new integrated electric powertrain parked in every driveway across the nation.There's an underground component to this whole thing too, both metaphorically and literally. It takes groups of dedicated men and women willing to the often-thankless work involved with installing EV infrastructure, and that ecosystem is larger than simply erecting

Time to embrace some EV realities

2022/07/28

There’s a moment when you’ve been working toward something where that “something” becomes very real and all the excitement you used to feel about it takes a back seat to the challenges that lie ahead. Moving forward means taking a deep breath, swallowing hard and remembering why you started down this path in the first place. Then you plow ahead.That moment for commercial decarbonization efforts within the trucking industry happened at this year’s ACT Expo. Sure there was plenty of excitement with a

Is solar the future of EVs? Sono Motors CEO says yes

The Amped EV Podcast ·

2022/07/19

Sono Motors might be on to something. The idea is that if a solar-powered electric vehicle can recharge its battery via the sun equal to a driver's average commute time, the driver will never have to worry about range anxiety creeping into their consciousness ever again. And that's the goal of the Sono Sion, the company's solar-powered consumer vehicle with production beginning in 2023."The purpose of this car is to cover the daily average distance driven by a commuter because it's actually not a

Where are the EV technicians?

The Amped EV Podcast ·

2022/06/20

Hey, EVs need maintenance and repairs too. But working on an EV shouldn't be done by just anyone – it takes a very particular set of skills (perhaps even skills acquired over a very long career). These vehicles aren't your grandfather's, working via internal combustion engines, and it takes a skilled technician to know how to safely maintain these relatively new components.This poses a problem. Today's job market is already facing a general worker shortage. A layer below that lies the technician

As soon as Amped co-host and Fleet Equipment Director of Content Jason Morgan stamped his ticket to the 2022 ACT Expo in Long Beach, Calif., I knew we weren't going to be able to let him go at it alone. So I crawled into his backpack and stowed away across the country to join him in witnessing the reveal of all the latest mind-bending decarbonization technologies and sustainability-driving services the trucking world has to offer.Well, it wasn't me personally in that backpack, it was a camera.

2022/05/18

Here on The Amped EV Podcast, we talk all the time about what it's like to drive a vehicle with an electric powertrain, but driving an electric Class 7 truck is a bit more intimidating... or is it? To show off all the nifty features of the Volvo VNR electric truck, Jason Morgan, co-host of The Amped EV Podcast and content director for Fleet Equipment was recently invited out to Greensboro, N.C. to have a chance to ride along and see what the drive is like. And, as a bonus, he also spills the tea on

About a year ago, Daimler Trucks North America opened what it refers to as a "heavy-duty electric truck charging site, called 'Electric Island'" in Portland, Ore. The goal of Electric Island is to help accelerate the development, testing and deployment of zero-emissions commercial vehicles. A year later, that hasn't changed, but the team has learned an awful lot about what it takes to successfully run electric vehicles, as well as the necessary EV environment surrounding them.Located across the

Bi-directional EV charging – with Emporia Energy

The Amped EV Podcast ·

2022/04/07

Bi-directional charging has massive potential to be a game-changer in the EV world. It provides consumers an affordable way to store excess energy generation and reuse it on demand whenever they want. A driver can fill his or her car battery during the day when the sun is out and reuse it in the evening during peak hours, when electricity is more expensive. Or, the driver can fill up the car battery in the middle of the night when electricity demand is low and energy is cheap.The problem is that

Look, we just saw a charging station at a bank in Akron, Ohio! That must be a sign that these things have got to be darn near popping up everywhere at this point, right?Not quite. Honestly, though, the numbers aren't terrible. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are 46,286 locations in the U.S. where you can charge your EV at a public charging station. But is this enough? On this episode, we dig into the EV charging infrastructure details.

Yeah, but what's the EV range?

The Amped EV Podcast ·

2022/01/12

Range anxiety is a pretty big sticking point when it comes to EVs. So much so, that we're devoting an entire episode of the Amped EV Podcast to it. Range (or lack thereof) is what has stopped many an EV-driving would-be across the globe dead in their tracks. "No thanks," they say. "If I can't tote the family on vacation without stopping for a charge I don't want it." What we've discovered, though, is that in most cases, you really don't need the range you think you do.

The hydrogen hype is real. After all, well over 800,000 hydrogen fuel cell commercial trucks – including both heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks – will be sold by 2035, according to a study by Information Trends. But, how viable is it in the commercial and passenger automotive sectors, really?While we can't see the future, we have a good idea of where both the commercial vehicle industry and the passenger automotive sectors are heading and where they cross over in this episode of the Amped EV

Commercial trucks are going electric.
