HDT Talks Trucking

One Energy is an industrial power company and installer of on-site, behind-the-meter, wind energy systems. In early October, the company unveiled its first 30 megawatt battery-electric truck charging site. The site is fully developed, energized, and waiting for its first fleet customers in Findlay, Ohio.

One Energy is a Utility 2.0 company. It sits between the consumer and the utility company, and because it's more agile than a utility, it can make this happen. Fast.

One Energy went from shovels in the ground to flipping the proverbial switch, in just eight months. One Energy CEO Jereme Kent joins Jim Park to talk about the project, its potential and why he chose to build this facility in Findlay Ohio.

In this episode:

• The difference between a utility company and Utility 2.0
• Why Findlay Ohio could be an ideal site for a megawatt charging hub

• How electricity costs will affect fleets' operating margins
• How a megawatt charging hub works
• Is this concept the truckstop of the future?
