Early ZEV Deployments: Lessons Learned
• Single largest challenge for the heavy-duty ZEV
market is charging infrastructure
• Engage utilities and local officials early in the
infrastructure design process
• TCO is currently dependent on public funding
for vehicle purchase & infrastructure
• Fleet ownership of property eases facility
planning and investments
• Divergent priorities of multiple stakeholders
must be managed
• Consider identifying a dedicated point of contact
within your organization
