About this episode
On today's smarter episode of Quick Charge, we've got CEO Daniel Hilson here to give us an in-depth look at how BetterFleet can help fleets and utilities manage their charging schedules to keep both energy costs and downtime to a minimum.
We also take a look at Amazon's Rivian electric van fleet and how their goal of reaching 100,000 vans by 2030 is coming along, as well as a new solar-powered semi trailer that's using Australia's sunshine to keep food fresh from farm to store to table.
