Navigating the Challenges of Sustainable Transportation

For Quanta Services, Successful Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure Development Results From a Carefully Planned and Executed Process

By Seth Skydel

Electrifying your fleet is a process,” said Gary Rackliffe, senior vice president of energy technology at Quanta Technology.“ At Quanta Services, which operates one of the largest commercial fleets in the country, operating units are evaluating their fleet transitions. This process is starting with pick-ups and bucket trucks based on the availability of vehicles. Our role at Quanta Technology is to address fleet transition planning for Quanta Services and our partners in the industry.”

The first step, according to Rackliffe, is to align electric vehicles( EV) fleet use cases with the charging infrastructure. The use cases define the types of vehicles, miles driven, daily driving patterns, charging windows or dwell times and overall energy requirements.
