It was just several days ago that I wrote an article about Tesla launching a huge EV charging hub that runs on solar power. Today I found another one. Though, it actually launched a little before the Tesla one. It’s a new hub with 18 fast chargers for fleet vehicles. The press release from Terawatt Infrastructure says the source of electricity is renewables. “Solar canopies and 100% renewable energy powering every session.”
The location is Rialto, California, about 56 miles east of Los Angeles. The new fleet charging hub provides:
- 18 pull-through 350kW DC fast-charging stalls
- 55 bobtail parking stalls for overnight parking, shift changes, and logistics needs
- Driver lounge building featuring Wi-Fi, climate control, and restrooms
- License plate recognition for seamless entry
- Solar canopies and 100% renewable energy powering every session
- 24/7 security with 360-degree cameras and gated access to protect vehicles, cargo, and drivers.
For people who might think this new site is just a one-off, Terawatt opened a similarly sized hub in April. “The private site, shared among multiple fleets, will house a total of 20 pull-through and bobtail DC fast charging stalls and boast a capacity of 7MW — enabling charging for up to 125 trucks per day.”…
