Electric trucks are vehicles designed for transporting goods that are powered entirely or primarily by electric energy. Unlike traditional trucks that rely on internal combustion engines fueled by gasoline or diesel, electric trucks utilize electric motors and batteries. This design offers several advantages, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower operating costs due to less fuel expenditure and maintenance, and quieter operation. Electric trucks are increasingly being developed for various applications, including delivery services, long-haul transport, and construction. The transition to electric trucks is part of a broader movement toward sustainable transportation solutions aimed at addressing climate change and improving air quality. As technology advances, electric truck designs are evolving, with improvements in battery capacity, charging infrastructure, and overall efficiency, making them a more viable option for businesses and fleet operators.
Electric truck adoption is hindered by a lack of charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in New York. Currently, no publicly accessible charging stations exist on New York highways…
