The power of moving loads: Cost analysis of megawatt charging in Europe

Summary

Electrifying long-haul freight across Europe can dramatically reduce emissions from transport to help meet climate goals. To advance the use of electric trucks, Member States will need to build more high-capacity charging, or ‘megawatt charging,’ infrastructure along core freight corridors. Pressure is mounting as the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation requires countries to start the build-out of this network in 2025.
