“Getting the first installation of Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) under STEP, a U.S. Department of Energy program, at a truck stop in Baker City, Ore., is a big step, but it’s just a first step. Beyond Baker City, Shorepower Technologies, which along with Cascade Sierra Solutions is now administering the STEP program, is planning 49 more truck stops to outfit with power pedestals.
Nor will that be the end of the journey. TSE will really make its mark, says Alan Bates, Shorepower Technologies’ Vice President of Marketing, when truckers can count on having the service available wherever they pull in for the night.
For that reason Shorepower’s goal is to build a network of TSE-equipped truck stops along the nation’s major highway-freight corridors.”
