Charging at 65 mph: Why Electric Trucking Just Got Serious


Listen Later

For this episode, we explore a breakthrough that could redefine electric trucking: in-road inductive charging that delivered 190 kW to a Class 8 vehicle at 65 mph. Charging while moving enables smaller battery packs, higher payloads, less downtime, and operating costs that can rival diesel at around $0.32 per kWh. Pair that with autonomy on high-density freight corridors, and the economics tilt further: more uptime, fewer stops, and safer, more predictable logistics. The technology is proving out; the next frontier focuses on infrastructure, funding models, and regulatory coordination.
