The report provides an assessment of the macroeconomic impacts of electrification of transportation-related medium- and heavy-duty technologies with a focus on four technologies: (1) Electric Forklifts; (2) Truck Stop Electrification; (3) Shore Power; and (4) Electric Transit Buses. The analysis integrates technology characterizations, energy price forecasts, and future market penetration scenarios with input-output analysis methodologies to identify the potential macroeconomic impacts of technology adoption.
