Biden agencies draw roadmap for EV charging along freight corridors | KLRT [Video]

The Biden Administration on Monday sketched out plans for EV charging and hydrogen dispensing along major U.S. freight corridors.

The National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy was developed by the administration’s Joint Office of Energy and Transportation with input from the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It lays the infrastructure out for increased numbers of zero-emission medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

Currently, the U.S. aims for at least 30% of sales of the vehicles to be zero-emission by 2030, and 100% by 2040. The infrastructure strategy is divided into four phases that align with that timeline.

Phase one, running from 2024-2027, is simply establishing hubs that can serve as logistical points for hydrogen fueling and charging at the level these vehicles need. The second phase (2027-2030) will connect these hubs via major freight corridors. The third phase (2030-2035) will expand these corridor-hub …
