Would be a no-brainer to cover warehouses and parking lots with solar and charge the fleet yourself for even less.

- Retric 3y agoIt’s common to have a mix where some trucks make 1 route per day and others do several. So you can optimize by rotating loading times, spare vehicles, and having some onsite batteries. Solar > battery means DC fast charging gets to skip AC>DC losses which are significant. But you don’t need to use 100% of solar’s output to save a lot of money.
