Abstract

Class-8 battery electric trucks (BET) are modeled and simulated in this paper to determine their capability in fulfilling real-world drayage activity under different operational scenarios. Potential wireless charging zones at port terminals are identified, and wireless charging opportunities are introduced to improve drayage activity fulfillment of BETs. The results show that current BETs would be able to fulfill approximately 79-86% of the real-world drayage activity sample used in this research, and that the ability to receive wireless opportunity charging at port terminals could help increase the activity fulfillment to about 84-91%.
