| | | | | | The goal of the Duke Energy + Electrada Fleet Mobility Microgrid, its planners say, is to create a model for utility-scale fleet electrification charging of light-, medium- and heavy-duty transportation. Vehicles can charge through the Duke Energy grid or from the on-site solar and storage-powered microgrid. |
