Tesla Is Working With Major Companies to Build On-Site Semi Truck Charging Stations

Tesla’s highly anticipated electric semi trucks are rolling out next year so moves are being made to ensure the unique vehicles are a success.

One major development is the fact that Tesla is collaborating with major companies who have already placed orders for its semi trucks to build on-site charging stations.

These companies include Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo, Loblaw Companies Ltd, and United Parcel Service, and it’s possible these companies could eventually share facilities with each other.

“What was important to us was to make a big investment in this cutting-edge technology and secure our place in line,” Anheuser-Busch senior director of supply chain James Sembrot said to Reuters.

Since Tesla’s current charging stations are suitable for massive semi trucks, this new collaboration seems like a logical step in ensuring their viability moving forward.

Best Materials for High-Temperature Aerospace Applications

Every turbine blade, exhaust duct, and fastener in an aircraft engine faces a punishing combination of heat, stress, and corrosive gas. And the high-temperature aerospace materials that survive those conditions aren't interchangeable. If you pick the wrong alloy, the part can distort, crack, or fails mid-flight. Choosing the best materials for high-temperature aerospace applications starts with un
