ROADSIGNS EPISODE 90
WHAT WILL THE FUTURE OF EV RECHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE LOOK LIKE?
Jason Gies knows that you don’t want your new electric medium-duty truck to run out of juice just because your route took it out of range distance. So, he’s talking to truck stop operators, shippers, regulators, policy makers, and people at the local power company to help architect a sustainable charging infrastructure - one that makes 600-kilowatt battery charging just as easy as plugging in that Chevy Volt. In this episode, RoadSigns’ Mike Freeze gets the buzzy Geis, Navistar's VP of eMobility Business Development, to spill the tea on everything from how fleets are charging now to how far policy makers are wiling to go to up the public charging game. Tune in, and you'll never go out of range again.
