Megawatt Charging Alone Won’t Solve Fleet Electrification Challenges, Warns Industry Veteran

Transitioning heavy-duty commercial fleets to electric power will require overcoming severe grid delays, real estate limits, and software gaps rather than simply installing faster hardware. Industry pioneer Rustam Kocher emphasizes that operators must rethink depot design and energy management to make high-power charging viable at scale. He cautions that without smarter utility coordination and reliable standardization, hardware speed alone will not meet commercial demand.
