Kōkua ʻo Kaleponi i ka hoʻolilo ʻana i nā semis uila nui loa i kēia manawa-a me ka uku ʻana iā lākou

Hoʻolālā nā ʻoihana kaiapuni o Kaleponi e hoʻomaka i ka mea a lākou e ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia ka hoʻolaha nui loa o nā kaʻa kalepa uila kaumaha ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a hiki i kēia manawa.

Na ka South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), California Air Resources Board (CARB), a me California Energy Commission (CEC) e hoʻolako kālā i ka deployment o 100 mau kaʻa uila ma lalo o ka papahana, i kapa ʻia ʻo Joint Electric Truck Scaling Initiative (JETSI), e like me ka a hoʻokuʻu hui.

E hoʻokele ʻia nā kaʻa e nā ʻauwaʻa NFI Industries a me Schneider i ka lawelawe haul a me ka drayage ma nā alaloa o Kaleponi Hema. E loaʻa i nā ʻauwaʻa he 80 Freightliner eCascadia a me 20 Volvo VNR Electric semi trucks.

E hui pū ana ʻo NFI a me Electrify America i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana, me 34 mau kikowaena wikiwiki DC i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ka hoʻokomo ʻana ma ka lā Dekemaba 2023, e like me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Electrify America. ʻO kēia ka papahana hoʻolimalima-infrastructure nui loa e kākoʻo ana i nā kaʻa uila kaumaha, ʻōlelo nā hoa.

E loaʻa ana nā kikowaena 150-kw a me 350-kw ma ka hale o NFI's Ontario, Kaleponi. E ʻike ʻia nā ʻōnaehana solar a me nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu ma ka pūnaewele e hoʻonui i ka hilinaʻi a me ka hoʻohana hou ʻana i ka ikehu hou, wahi a Electrify America.

ʻAʻole hoʻolālā ka poʻe kuleana no ka Megawatt Charging System (MCS) e kūkulu ʻia ana ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe, ua hōʻoia ʻo Electrify America i ka Green Car Reports. Ua ʻike ka hui "Ke komo ikaika nei mākou i ka CharIN's Megawatt charging system development taskforce."

Hiki i nā papahana JETSI ke nānā aku i nā kaʻa kaʻa pōkole hiki ke ʻoi aku ka noʻonoʻo ma mua o ka manaʻo nui i nā kaʻa holo lōʻihi i kēia manawa. Ua hōʻike ʻia kekahi mau loiloi hou loa ʻaʻole i kūʻai maikaʻi nā semis uila lōʻihi-ʻoiai nā kaʻa pōkole a me nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi, me kā lākou mau ʻeke pākahi liʻiliʻi.

Ke neʻe nei ʻo Kaleponi me nā kaʻa kalepa zero-emission. Ke kūkulu ʻia nei kahi hale kaʻa kaʻa uila ma Bakersfield, a ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Kaleponi i kahi hui hui 15 mau mokuʻāina e manaʻo nei e hoʻolilo i nā kaʻa kaumaha kaumaha hou i ka 2050.
