Logistics operators expanding electric vehicle fleets are encountering unexpected operational delays stemming from local grid capacity constraints. Vehicle supply has largely outpaced the rate of commercial grid connections required for high-volume depot charging.
Transformer Shortages Delay Deployment
Utility providers report supply shortages for industrial-grade step-down transformers and high-voltage circuit breakers. As a result, commercial fleet operators are turning to onsite battery energy storage systems (BESS) to buffer peak power draws while awaiting grid upgrades.
