Dive brief:
- According to a press release on June 24, Watf, a heavy -duty power service provider, broke the land in the sixth period of his heavy electric truck charging in the port of Auckland.
- The warehouse will be able to charge 25 medium and heavy electric trucks simultaneously with a maximum of 240 kW or six trucks at 1.2 MW, the California -based company said.
- The warehouse is set to create a zero -transport corridor from the Gulf to other parts of North California, Nevada and beyond. It is also designed to reduce the charge time to 30 minutes or less compared to diesel refueling time.
Dive insight:
Electricity efforts in the port in North California are growing because most stakeholders are interested in zero transport transport.
Given that most of the truck charging infrastructure in Southern California is concentrated, Depot Charging Future has been constructed for many years in the port of Auckland.
“Having a charging warehouse for port property, because it gives truck owners a location nearby to charge their trucks overnight or over the day,” said Tracy Fidel “This is especially important for independent ownership, which may not have their own yard or a dedicated charging station.”
The port of Auckland has many initiatives to accelerate its zero efforts. Some of these projects include expanding solar energy consumption, commitment to add geothermal energy to their power basket, and increase the port capability of charging the green equipment used in its facilities.
According to the port, “in July 2023, the port was awarded to $ 119 million from the state, which was allocated to improve infrastructure, including marine facilities, upgrades to adjacent roads and electric cargo equipment.” “This increases operational efficiency and reduces future air release.”
Watf is also a port partner in the EPA’s budget for clearing programs. “They buy 200 electric battery trucks and rent them to truck drivers for Drayage Port,” Fidel said.
The Bay Area port also joins EV transfer efforts to the port of Los Angeles despite the legislative uncertainty about the future of electric vehicles.
In May, the port of Southern California adopted a plan to help transfer the Drayage fleet to zero emissions.
