As electric trucks scale, designing depot‑charging infrastructure becomes a critical technical and economic challenge. The presentation offers a comparative analysis of charging architectures for e‑truck depots, illustrating how design choices impact efficiency, cost, scalability, and reliability, and exploring megawatt‑class high‑power systems, underlying power‑electronics, energy flows, and infrastructure layouts. Using simulation models and realistic depot scenarios, the speaker examine how charging strategies, fleet behavior, and infrastructure utilization affect overall performance, delivering concrete insights for building future‑ready, efficient, scalable, and economically viable charging operations.
 
The presentation will be followed by an interactive Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to engage directly with the speaker.
