Electrifying a large commercial fleet presents infrastructure challenges that go far beyond vehicle selection. In this video, Knight‑Swift Transportation shares how it tackled one of the freight industry’s biggest hurdles: delivering enough reliable power to charge electric semi‑trucks at scale. Partnering with Schneider Electric, Knight‑Swift designed and deployed a microgrid combining DC fast charging, solar canopies, and battery energy storage. The solution enables the company to support its Southern California EV fleet while improving cost control, energy resilience, and sustainability. By building integrated energy infrastructure alongside fleet electrification, Knight‑Swift demonstrates how forward‑thinking organizations can overcome grid constraints and accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation without compromising operational performance.
