The current landscape of EV vehicles and EV charging
from FreightWaves LIVE: An Events Podcast · host FreightWaves
Despite the hype surrounding the Tesla Semi truck, the future for electric vehicles in the transportation and logistics industry seems to be coming sooner and on a larger scale for fleets serving the last mile. Case in point: Amazon’s order for 100,000 customized electric delivery vehicles produced by Rivian. “It just makes so much sense for an electric vehicle with that stop-and-go application and that high idle time, inner-city traffic kind of environments,” said Chris Nordh, senior director of Advanced Vehicle Technology and Energy Products for Fleet Management Solutions at Ryder System. He is joined by Bob Stojanovic of ABB. Watch Apple Podcast Spotify More FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
