Original: Batteries on wheels: Oregon pushes businesses to switch heavy-duty fleets to electric vehicles

The initiative reflects the state's broader push to cut transportation emissions, though businesses face questions about costs, charging infrastructure and vehicle availability as the transition gathers pace.
Why now: New state efforts to push commercial fleets toward electric vehicles are drawing attention to the costs and practicality of electrifying heavy-duty transport.
