That's one of the biggest learnings from this pilot project: Electric can work in the right application.\"\nAlso promising, Withers said, is the speed at which the zero-emissions truck could be charged and redeployed to continue delivering materials.\n\"We've learned that an EV semitruck can haul and perform like a diesel truck. If necessary, the vehicle can come back, get a healthy charge in about two hours, and deliver the remaining materials to be on time to those locations.\"\nThis flexibility is vital as Duke Energy invests in major electric grid upgrades and cleaner energy sources, including expanded storage, renewables, natural gas and nuclear.\n\"I'm incredibly proud of my team for advocating for new ideas like this,\" said Dwight Jacobs, senior vice president, supply chain, real estate and chief procurement officer. \"We're not just leading one of the largest clean energy transitions in North America - we're literally driving it forward.\"\nBetween January and mid-August, the pilot project's EV tractor drove 14,000 miles, saving nearly 1,947 gallons of diesel fuel and approximately $7,500 in fuel costs, based on the current rate of $3.85 gallon for an equivalent diesel engine. This equates to a reduction of 19.6 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to 4.7 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year.\nElectric vehicles also require less maintenancethan conventional vehicles. Without a diesel engine, an EV tractor doesn't need oil changes or as many mechanical repairs.\nAs the company works toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, Duke Energy is exploring other ways to cut carbon, some of which have already been implemented - like the Electric Power Take Off (ePTO) systems for material handling bucket trucks. The ePTO system uses a traditional chassis but operates the truck's boom and auxiliary functions entirely off a battery once on-site, saving fuel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\n\"It also has safety benefits by making job sites quieter,\" Read added. \"People in the bucket can talk to folks on the ground and hear them more clearly.\"\nIt's one more example, she said, of finding the right technology to match the application.\nThese pilot projects, including the one that electrified Duke Energy's first supply chain route, continue to provide valuable data. \"These projects demonstrate our commitment to cleaner energy,\" Withers said. \"Electrification is new for larger commercial vehicles at the company, but it's a step we're evaluating as part of our long-term strategy.\"\nWe're working to increase access to EV charging, research how it affects the grid and help electrify fleets\nOver the next 26 years, energy consumption is predicted to grow at an average annual rate of nearly 2% - approximately 35% of that growth is expected to come from greater EV adoption. That means energy use could be about 50% greater by 2050 than it is today.\nDuke Energy has been preparing for this transition - monitoring and implementing EV load management, and managing charging programs and pilots to help customers save money while lessening the impacts of EVs to system peaks.\nYou can help play a part, too. If your business is considering adding EVs to its fleet, reach out to Duke Energy so we can help assure a smooth transition. Residential customers can also benefit from Duke Energy EV rebate programs and other resources.\nView original content here.\nView additional multimedia and more ESG storytelling from Duke Energy on 3blmedia.com.\nContact Info:Spokesperson: Duke EnergyWebsite: https://www.3blmedia.com/profiles/duke-energyEmail: info@3blmedia.com\nSOURCE: Duke Energy\n\nView the original \npress release on accesswire.com","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.2","shortVersion":"4.29.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2485492327"}
