Medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks purchased in 2040 will cost $25,000 less over their lifetime than comparable diesels, says a new NRDC report.

The California Energy Commission granted nearly $24 million to foster zero-emission transit buses, school buses and medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

The Hawaii State Energy Office is partnering with the Dept. of Health to give away $2.1 million in rebates to incentivize diesel vehicle owners to go electric.

Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota will collaborate to speed electric vehicle adoption in the upper Midwest, focusing initially on trucks.
