Net-Zero Carbon EP75 Collaboration is Key
Battery electric vehicles are commonly viewed as the practical solution to decarbonize transportation. But despite the funding announcements and hype, it\u2019s not as simple as heading to the dealer to swap out your old diesel. There are operational differences, supply chain delays, and charging infrastructure upgrades to consider. And that\u2019s before looking at the price tag and understanding total cost of ownership. These challenges are all being addressed by The Electrification Coalition (EC), a nonprofit dedicated to facilitating widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Today\u2019s episode features Alma Meckler-Pacheco, a freight electrification associate at the EC, explaining the various workstreams underway to accelerate battery electric truck adoption. These efforts include policy development, advocacy campaigns, shipper and carrier education, and building support among coalition members.\nLearn more about EC: https://electrificationcoalition.org/\nConnect with Alma on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alma-meckler-pacheco-2a344219a/\nFollow the Net-Zero Carbon Podcast\nOther FreightWaves Shows\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
