#ACEATRUCKTALKS – Charging the fleet: The role of depot charging in HDV electrification

This session will bring together leading voices from the energy, infrastructure, and transport sectors to explore both the opportunities and the challenges linked to depot charging, and how it can enable the widespread electrification of HDV fleets. The discussion aims to assess and support the development of effective policy frameworks and practical solutions to accelerate the rollout of zero-emission trucks across Europe. Key questions are:

• What role does depot charging play across different vehicle segments and use cases? 
• Insights from early adopters: What have operators learned from the first rollouts? 
• What barriers currently hinder the deployment of depot charging infrastructure, and what solutions exist? 
• What should be done to accelerate the rollout of suitable depot chargers?
