Strategic Analysis of Dead Miles in Electric Trucks Using Connected Solutions across Key US States

Strategic Analysis of Dead Miles in Electric Trucks Using Connected Solutions across Key US States


Connected Solutions Significantly Benefit Dead Mile Reduction in eLCVs with NACS and CCS Connectors Harboring Enormous Growth Potential

Fleet electrification is crucial to reaching sustainability goals. It involves the transition of fleets from internal combustion engines to electric engines. The charging requirements of the fleet are evaluated to identify potential charging opportunities either en route at public charging stations or at depots through installed chargers.

Access to public charging is paramount for fleets in their electrification decision because of its many benefits, including zero upfront capital expenditure. The availability and accessibility of suitable public charger stations vary greatly by state and by city of operation. The distance traveled to access a suitable connector in a public charger station always depends on several factors, such as the electric vehicle’s connector type and its preferred connector power, considering the segment of operation, the battery capacity, and the opportunity time available for the truck to charge.

Connected solutions that include navigation services to access available public charging stations with suitable connector types and preferred power capacity can reduce the dead miles traveled for charging. This Frost & Sullivan analysis provides insights into the readiness of US states across connector types, the distance traveled by eLCVs to access charger stations across selected states and cities, and the impact of connected solutions across key segments.
