This week’s guest is Rob Kelly SVP of Business Development for Forum Mobility. Forum Mobility provides accessible zero-emission trucking solutions for drayage in California. Their services range from building and operating charging infrastructure to offering class 8 zero-emission electric trucks. They are currently developing a network of charging depots around the Oakland and Los Angeles/Long Beach ports, and along common trucking routes to warehouse destinations. Rob joined Forum Mobility about 2 years ago and he has a long career in the clean energy space - including 10 years with SolarCity and then Tesla when they acquired it in 2016.
In our conversation, we discuss the current regulatory situation in California, the challenges and opportunities to electrifying truck fleets, and what the industry might look like 5 - 10 years in the future. This is an important discussion for anyone who has freight coming in from California ports - which is pretty much everyone! What is happening in California usually finds its way to other states and sometimes federally - so it is important to keep your eyes on it.
