. What made this station so impressive is the capability of charging 96 electric trucks simultaneously! As we know, electric trucks can require some serious power to charge, so that means the station must have equally impressive access to power. But, the devil is in the details.
So, the company chose instead to build a microgrid. They’re going to pull some power from the grid, but generate megawatts of power from hydrogen generators on site, paired with 18 megawatt-hours of battery to provide up to 9 megawatts of charging at peak! As the rest of the country electrifies, many places capable of charging dozens of electric trucks will be needed. Truck stops, large merchants like Walmart, and perhaps even highway rest areas will need to be able to do this. So, we’re not seeing one special case that’s not going to happen again. We’re seeing something that’s going to happen again and again as the industry shifts toward electric. That’s not going to be easy, and it’s not going to be fast.
