Sales of light-duty battery-electric vehicles (LDBEVs) have steadily risen since 2010 generating a growing body of knowledge of deployment obstacles among manufacturers, consumers, utilities, and charging vendors. Most of these obstacles pertain to the use of space, time and money to achieve performance parity with conventionally fueled vehicles. While LDBEV deployments have laid a valuable foundation for anticipating driver behavior, technology shortfalls, utility interface, and charging station operations, the scale of these obstacles for medium- and heavy-duty (MD, HD) fleets makes electrification uniquely complex. This article describes the key challenges of incorporating BEVs into MD and HD fleets.
