    Newer trailers can be set up with shore power already. And the alternator is already in place, able to run a 2500W power inverter. I would think you could invert to 115V to power the unit, since that's what shore power would be.

    Reefers should already have DEF. Pollution spewing dredges on society that they are.
    The electric reefer will be out soon, then we can all breathe better.

    Soon only DEF & e logs will remain. Standing atop of a trucking industry wasteland, littered with rusting hulks.

    And you know what reduces NOx? How about that. Full circle. They needed to implement def or something equivalent eventually and the engine manufacturers weren't going to start without a push.

    That's also a good reason to buy a plastic truck.

    We need Elon Mask to do ether or design electrical reefer or start digging Hyperloop tonnel along California, so it can crack easily and float away in ocean.
     
    Dave_in_AZ, x1Heavy and Justrucking2 Thank this.
