To harness the energy, economic development, and air quality benefits of transitioning to electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs), particularly freight vehicles, states across the country are adopting Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rules, with some committing to achieve 100 percent sales of electric trucks by 2050. In addition, funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are available to support charging station investments, fleet replacements, grid upgrades, and workforce development needs related to transportation electrification. To support states in their goals to electrify MHDVs, NASEO is engaging leaders in the field to better understand the impacts of freight electrification, and identify planning, program, and policy options for states to enable the transition to an electric fleet. This webinar will feature presentations from experts highlighting priority locations for freight electrification and the electrical infrastructure needed to support charging for medium- and heavy-duty EVs, explore current freight electrification planning initiatives underway, and will announce a new initiative from NASEO to support states as they plan for electric freight investments.
