Episode Details

On today's authoritative episode of Quick Charge, we're talking all about how ports and port authorities are cleaning up their acts with the man in charge of the busiest port in North America – Port of Long Beach CEO Dr. Noel Hacegaba.

We've also got a new, data-sharing electric semi pilot program at the Canadian port of Vancouver featuring Peterbilt Model 579EV Class 8 trucks, a massive new electric truck deal from Orange EV, and a thousand-year-old idea that seems brand new again.
