Some vehicles like drayage trucks are better suited for electrification because those vehicles may not need as long of a vehicle range, said Shimoda of the California Trucking Association. But for long-haulers, the mandate could pose serious problems, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-haul diesel trucks can operate up to 1,000 miles before needing to refill the tank, which takes 10 to 15 minutes to fill up. But electric models have to be charged often because they have “significantly shorter range” and they take hours to charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The charging infrastructure that is necessary to support these trucks is basically non-existent today. Even the fastest available chargers right now are going to take 3 to 4 hours to charge up to a full state,” said Shimoda, who represents California truckers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd Spencer, president and CEO of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, said charging times of more than two hours could “cause total disruption” of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Neither the technology nor the interstate infrastructure will be available in the foreseeable future to support a zero-emissions requirement for long-haul interstate trucks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some new technology, however, has already surfaced that dramatically cuts the charging time. The newest model of the Volvo eVNR tractor-trailer can recharge to 80% \u003ca href=\"https://www.volvotrucks.us/trucks/vnr-electric/\">in just 90 minutes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mandate also would increase demand on the state’s already-fragile electric grid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These charging stations are going to be a huge, huge power draw,” Shimoda said. “To put into context, the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on a game day uses around 300 to 350 kilowatts of power. A charging station needed for a big rig is going to be like 30 times larger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley Young, an Air Resources Board spokesperson, said many concerns over the charging infrastructure are already being addressed under the buildout of the grid outlined in the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2022/09/california-climate-change-plan/\">proposed scoping plan\u003c/a>, its climate change blueprint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though new model prices are high, electric trucks would need much lower maintenance costs over time compared to fossil-fueled engines and recharging with electricity would save more money than using diesel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shane Levy of Proterra, an electric-vehicle technology company, said the company has rapidly scaled up its battery technology in recent years. It is currently working with more than a dozen manufacturers to electrify medium- and heavy-duty trucks and has delivered battery systems for more than a thousand commercial vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the new rule could accelerate the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Commercial vehicles are ripe for electrification — benefiting not only how we move people around cities and towns, but also how we provide goods and services to the communities we live in,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://californiahvip.org/\">state and federal subsidy programs\u003c/a> could also help provide relief to companies and truck drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the board provided no cost data, staff said the long-term economic net benefits are expected to save companies about $22 billion over the life of the regulation and will save more than 5,000 California lives between 2024 and 2050, according to air board staff’s estimates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups say the deadlines should be accelerated by four years — from 2040 to 2036 — for all sales of new zero-emissions trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portillo, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said speeding up the transition would have health benefits for low-income, disadvantaged communities that live near highways, railyards and ports, where trucks spew toxic diesel exhaust and smog-forming pollutants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diesel exhaust is one of the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/overview-diesel-exhaust-and-health\">most harmful pollutants\u003c/a> that threaten Californians’ health, containing more than 40 carcinogens as well as particles that contribute to cardiovascular and respiratory disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"In a worldwide first, California would require new trucks to be zero-emissions in 2040 — meaning large trucking companies would gradually convert their fleets.

Some vehicles like drayage trucks are better suited for electrification because those vehicles may not need as long of a vehicle range, said Shimoda of the California Trucking Association. But for long-haulers, the mandate could pose serious problems, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-haul diesel trucks can operate up to 1,000 miles before needing to refill the tank, which takes 10 to 15 minutes to fill up. But electric models have to be charged often because they have “significantly shorter range” and they take hours to charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The charging infrastructure that is necessary to support these trucks is basically non-existent today. Even the fastest available chargers right now are going to take 3 to 4 hours to charge up to a full state,” said Shimoda, who represents California truckers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd Spencer, president and CEO of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, said charging times of more than two hours could “cause total disruption” of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Neither the technology nor the interstate infrastructure will be available in the foreseeable future to support a zero-emissions requirement for long-haul interstate trucks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some new technology, however, has already surfaced that dramatically cuts the charging time. The newest model of the Volvo eVNR tractor-trailer can recharge to 80% \u003ca href=\"https://www.volvotrucks.us/trucks/vnr-electric/\">in just 90 minutes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mandate also would increase demand on the state’s already-fragile electric grid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These charging stations are going to be a huge, huge power draw,” Shimoda said. “To put into context, the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on a game day uses around 300 to 350 kilowatts of power. A charging station needed for a big rig is going to be like 30 times larger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley Young, an Air Resources Board spokesperson, said many concerns over the charging infrastructure are already being addressed under the buildout of the grid outlined in the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2022/09/california-climate-change-plan/\">proposed scoping plan\u003c/a>, its climate change blueprint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though new model prices are high, electric trucks would need much lower maintenance costs over time compared to fossil-fueled engines and recharging with electricity would save more money than using diesel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shane Levy of Proterra, an electric-vehicle technology company, said the company has rapidly scaled up its battery technology in recent years. It is currently working with more than a dozen manufacturers to electrify medium- and heavy-duty trucks and has delivered battery systems for more than a thousand commercial vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the new rule could accelerate the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Commercial vehicles are ripe for electrification — benefiting not only how we move people around cities and towns, but also how we provide goods and services to the communities we live in,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://californiahvip.org/\">state and federal subsidy programs\u003c/a> could also help provide relief to companies and truck drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the board provided no cost data, staff said the long-term economic net benefits are expected to save companies about $22 billion over the life of the regulation and will save more than 5,000 California lives between 2024 and 2050, according to air board staff’s estimates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups say the deadlines should be accelerated by four years — from 2040 to 2036 — for all sales of new zero-emissions trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portillo, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said speeding up the transition would have health benefits for low-income, disadvantaged communities that live near highways, railyards and ports, where trucks spew toxic diesel exhaust and smog-forming pollutants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diesel exhaust is one of the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/overview-diesel-exhaust-and-health\">most harmful pollutants\u003c/a> that threaten Californians’ health, containing more than 40 carcinogens as well as particles that contribute to cardiovascular and respiratory disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11926059/big-change-for-big-rigs-california-unveils-mandate-to-phase-out-diesel-trucks","authors":["byline_news_11926059"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_31658","news_22457","news_57","news_4977","news_30923"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11926063","label":"news_18481"},"news_11919886":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11919886","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11919886","score":null,"sort":[1658275547000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"judge-sets-october-trial-date-in-twitter-lawsuit-against-elon-musk","title":"Judge Sets October Trial Date in Twitter Lawsuit Against Elon Musk","publishDate":1658275547,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Twitter and Elon Musk are scheduled to face off in a five-day trial in October over the billionaire's change of heart about buying the social media company for $44 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision from Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, the chief judge at Delaware's Court of Chancery, was a blow to Musk, whose lawyers sought a trial early next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the Twitter deal now in limbo, McCormick agreed to fast-track the trial during a hearing over Zoom on Tuesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reality is that delay threatens irreparable harm to the sellers and Twitter,\" McCormick said in her ruling from the bench. \"The longer the delay, the greater the risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/07/08/1110539504/twitter-elon-musk-deal-jeopardy\">calling off the deal\u003c/a> because of concerns over how many accounts on Twitter are \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/05/13/1098741154/elon-musk-twitter-deal-hold-pause\">fake or spam\u003c/a>.
