Did you know? Anchorage made electric vehicle history by purchasing Alaska’s first commercial electric waste disposal truck. Anchorage’s Solid Waste Services (SWS) partnered with Ontario-based eCamion, Inc. to test an electric vehicle charging station which incorporates a large battery. The Alaska Center for Energy and Power will utilize this pilot project to conduct a performance analysis of the vehicles, which are built by Peterbilt Motors Company, and eCamion’s charging station.
