California drayage trucking companies (which operate in and around ports) are running up against a state-mandated deadline of January 1, 2024, after which any new trucks sold in the state must be zero-emissions. With current technology, that means electric, and the state isn’t ready for more electric trucks.
On July 16, the Wall Street Journal reported that there are fewer than 700 electric-truck chargers at depots in California right now. The state projects it will need 157,000 by 2030.
