EV Charging Skids for Heavy Vehicles
The electrification of transport is no longer limited to passenger cars. Across Australia and globally, heavy vehicles, delivery trucks and logistics fleets are rapidly transitioning towards electric power. This shift is being driven by rising fuel costs, stricter emissions regulations and corporate sustainability targets. But while electric trucks are gaining traction, one major challenge remains – charging infrastructure. Why Charging heavy vehicles is different Charging a heavy vehicle isn’t the same as plugging in a car. Electric trucks require: • Much higher output – often 150kW – 350kW+ DC fast charging • Longer charging durations – depending on battery size • More physical space – for access and manoeuvrability • Grid capacity planning– due to large energy demand Fleet operators can’t rely on standard public charging networks. Instead, they need purpose-built, scalable charging solutions designed specifically for depots, logistics hubs, and industrial sites as this is where charging will take place. EV charging skid advantages • Pre-assembled – plug and play system • Rapid deployment – days instead of months • Integrated protection – bollards, frames and cable management • Flexibility – easily repositioned as fleet needs change • Reduced civil works – less site disruptions For fleet operators this means faster rollout and lower upfront costs while maintaining flexibility as operations evolve.
