A New Approach to Keep Trucks Moving: Infrastructure as a Service

This piece introduces Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) as a scalable model for deploying commercial EV charging. IaaS providers handle land acquisition, permitting, grid connections, and depot operations, allowing fleets to access charging through subscription or usage-based fees. The model reduces upfront costs and complexity for fleets, especially smaller operators, and enables utilities to plan grid upgrades proactively. The briefing showcases public, private, and shared depot models and highlights how temporary power solutions and microgrids can bridge gaps while permanent infrastructure is built.
