It’s been well-known and documented that the EV transition hasn’t been the easiest. Missed production projections, harsh regulations, and a slow infrastructure buildout have made it an expensive headache for some sectors and a seemingly insurmountable task for others, especially in trucking. But that doesn’t mean they’re throwing in the towel: From a recent expo highlighting upcoming EVs, to a truck maker’s circular approach to battery recycling, it’s clear some are trying to make it work. In some cases, as you’ll read, companies are turning to just-as-clean alternatives as they reconsider whether EVs are the most cost-effective net-zero strategy. Paving the path to a sustainable future won’t be free, but it will be well worth the cost.
