Follow the Trucks: How “Hotspots” Can Guide Smarter Grid Investments for Commercial Fleets

This analysis identifies high-impact locations-such as ports, logistics hubs, and distribution centers-where medium- and heavy-duty (M/HD) electric truck charging infrastructure should be deployed first. By mapping freight activity and aligning it with grid capacity and land use, PACT offers a strategic roadmap for utilities and regulators to prioritize grid upgrades and avoid stranded assets. The briefing emphasizes that early investments in these “hotspots” can accelerate electrification and ensure infrastructure is built where it will be most used.
