CA regulators proclaim ambitious goal to ban diesel trucks at the states ports by 2035
Critics of California’s ambitious electrification plan for its semi trucks say that the state lacks the infrastructure required. But that isn’t stopping state regulators from shooting for the stars.
California’s trucking industry does huge business shuttling cargo from the body of west coast ports to inland depots. State lawmakers are looking to ban the operation of diesel-powered big rigs at the ports by 2035 and only allow electric vehicles onto the docks. This move would require 157,000 charging stations to serve the thousands of trucks entering and exiting the location each day.
