ABB is a leader in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, having sold over 17,000 DC fast chargers globally. The presentation discusses advances in heavy-duty electric vehicle charging and infrastructure, including differences between light and heavy-duty equipment. It also summarizes a project between ABB and Volvo to provide DC fast and depot chargers for electric trucks in the Los Angeles region. Key takeaways for scaling electric truck fleets are engaging with utilities early, ensuring vehicle interoperability, optimizing asset utilization through smart charging and fleet management systems, and integrating grid solutions like energy storage.
