E-mobility: How much charging power do electric trucks need in Europe
The Fraunhofer Institute sees a great need for this, especially in Germany. And it is occurring in large numbers regionally.
A study by Fraunhofer-Institut für System- und Innovationsforschung ISI and the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) forecasts that the electricity demand for electric trucks in Europe could exceed 200 terawatt-hours per year by 2045. By 2035, this demand may reach around 100 terawatt-hours. Germany is expected to have the highest demand, with up to 43 terawatt-hours required in 2045, followed by France and the UK with around 35 and 34 terawatt-hours respectively. The majority of charging is expected to take place in depots rather than on the road.
