This week’s guest is Jeff Short, Vice President, the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI). ATRI publishes a wide variety of reports on all aspects of freight and trucking from costs to bottlenecks and everything in between. Jeff is the author of the December 2022 ATRI Report entitled “Charging Infrastructure Challenges for the US Electric Vehicle Fleet”. The report identifies and quantifies three major challenges associated with the adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). These are (1) US Electricity Supply and Demand - can we generate the electricity needed, (2) Electric Vehicle Production - can we mine sufficient materials to produce the required number of vehicles, and (3) Truck Charging Requirements - how will charging work? I recommend that you look up this report and other ATRI reports at truckingresearch.org.
