The report team found three main challenges that related to electricity generation and consumption, vehicle charging requirements and charging infrastructure, and raw materials sourcing.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"fx-accordion-right\">\n                <div class=\"fx-accordion__panels js-animated-content animated-content\">    \n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item icon--collapse\" data-accordion-id=\"0\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"0\">Challenge #1: Electricity Supply and Demand<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>According to ATRI, the required electricity demand for transitioning to BEVs is \u201cenormous,\u201d with full electrification of the U.S. vehicle fleet resulting in an increase that is \u201cbeyond the country\u2019s present electricity generation.\u201d Overall, there would be an approximate 40% spike in energy demands for all types of BEVs, with 14% needed for all freight trucks (10.6% of this chunk would be needed for long-haul trucks). As a result, the report points out the need for a large-scale investment in charging infrastructure before there can be a mass adoption of BEVs.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"1\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"1\">Challenge #2: BEV Production<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>Before fleets can start meeting their zero-emission goals, they need the vehicles to get them there, something that the ATRI report labeled as its second challenge. Aside from finding enough of the raw materials needed to manufacture BEVs \u2014 including tens of millions of tons of cobalt, graphite, lithium, and nickel \u2014 the production of these vehicles has both environmental and social impacts. For example, the mining\/processing for these materials can produce significant pollution issues, and in some source countries, there is an exploitation of the labor force that gathers and refines these materials.<\/p>\n<p>There is also another \u201cconundrum\u201d according to ATRI: While the weight of the batteries needed to power BEVs can help increase range, it also increases the purchase price and reduces the available cargo weight. To solve this, the report highlights the need for \u201cmajor advances in battery technology.\u201d<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"2\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"2\">Challenge #3: Where\/When to Charge the Truck<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>The trucking industry has already seen a major issue develop over the years in terms of drivers finding available spots to park, whether for a few hours or overnight. Labeling this \u201cTruck Parking Crisis 2.0,\u201d the ATRI report explains that the needed chargers will outnumber the parking spaces currently available. As a result, charging will be inadequate due to house-of-service regulations and parking availability. The ATRI team tallied the cost to increase national charger availability at more than $35 billion.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-accordion -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg section-padding bg-white-fog\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n                    <div class=\"wysiwyg__wrapper\">\n        \n        <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n                                                                                \n                                                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"col-lg-12 js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                    <h2>BEVs in the Near Term<\/h2>\n<p>The report, like many sources before it, point to local and regional truck fleets as the current best use cases for BEVs. While some states like California, Washington, and Oregon are putting regulations in place calling for zero-emission commercial transport, most fleets must make their own decisions on how BEVs can fit into their operations. The report states that the challenge of BEV production must be addressed by every link in the supply chain, adding that utilities must also guarantee power grids are prepared for this increase is output and concluding that \u201cit is inappropriate, however, to place these burdens squarely on motor carriers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary\"
