The Electric Truck Guidance Report Series by Jessie Lund and Mike Roeth of Rocky Mountain Institute highlights the high-potential regions for electric truck deployment. The analysis shows geographic distinctions across the country, exposing some gaps and providing "marching orders" for ensuring electric trucks are set up for success regardless of where they are deployed. The report suggests that in some places, more transportation electrification planning from utilities is needed, while in others incentives or accelerating pilots may be necessary. The authors are confident that there will be a significant, early wave of electric tractors in regional haul and emphasize the importance of deploying them in the regions where they will be most successful. The report has been updated to include an analysis of Canadian regions as well.
