"The greater Los Angeles area is the epicenter of electric truck adoption in
the United States, and two of its ports are leading the charge.
Under a cooperative agreement approved by the governing board of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,
the nation’s two busiest container ports, have agreed to set planning
targets for electric drayage trucks and develop charging and refueling
infrastructure plans to support their deployment.
The agreement is another milestone for medium- and heavy-duty (MHDV) vehicle
electrification in the greater Los Angeles area, where despite federal policy
reversals, state and local governments as well as ports and private investors
have kept their zero-emission truck commitments.
Now the ball is in the electric utility’s court to ensure sufficient charging
infrastructure and timely grid connections."
