ICCT study estimates Europe’s electric truck charging demand could reach 100 TWh by 2035
A new ICCT and Fraunhofer ISI study says electric trucks could need about 100 TWh of charging energy annually across Europe by 2035 under a moderate electrification scenario. The finding matters because it points to heavy demand at depots and along major freight corridors and logistics hubs.
A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and Fraunhofer ISI estimates that electric trucks could require around 100 TWh of charging energy each year across Europe by 2035 under a moderate electrification scenario.
According to the study, most of that demand would come from depot charging. The researchers also say charging needs would be heavily concentrated around major freight corridors and logistics hubs.
