CV Depot Charging Market Trends

CV Depot Charging Market Trends

CV depot charging is witnessing significant technological advancements in battery technology. Increased battery energy density extends the range of commercial electric vehicles, making them more practical for long-haul transport. Faster charging capabilities reduce downtime, enhancing operational efficiency and vehicle utilization. Improved battery safety and durability lower the total cost of ownership, making electric commercial vehicles more attractive to fleet operators. Additionally, advancements in battery management systems (BMS) optimize energy use and extend battery life, further reducing costs. These innovations collectively enhance the feasibility and appeal of transitioning to electric commercial vehicle fleets, thereby increasing demand for depot charging infrastructure.
 

For instance, in July 2023, the Performance Team, a Maersk Company, and Prologis launched Southern California's largest heavy-duty electric vehicle (EV) charging depot near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The "Denker charging depot" can charge up to 96 EV trucks simultaneously, supporting Performance Team's fleet of Volvo VNR Electric trucks which have a 240-mile range and can charge up to 80% in 90 minutes.
