A big EV charging station for freight trucks is opening near Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, built by Einride and Voltera for clients including Maersk.
EV trucking company Einride is opening one of the biggest EV charging stations in the U.S. for freight trucks with EV infrastructure developer Voltera, including 65 chargers and the ability to charge 200 vehicles a day.
One of the first EV charging stations of scale for freight trucks is opening near the major ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, as the trucking market takes some limited, but significant steps to build the infrastructure required for a long-term transition to EV trucking and net-zero shipping.
"The launch of Einride's first Smartcharger station in the U.S. marks a momentous stride in establishing digital, electric freight as an important enabler to a more resilient U.S. freight system," Robert Falck, CEO and founder of Einride, said in a statement. Einride plans to open many EV charging stations for freight trucking on the West and East coasts, though California is the only state in which there are any EV freight charging stations of scale today. In addition to the new Lynwood station, logistics companycollaboration with Electrify America and Southern California Edison.
California's government has been aggressive in offering grants and incentives to build EV infrastructure, and also approved its utilities to spend $750 million on the development, which makes a significant difference in a market where there are still few EV trucks on the road or charging stations in operation, making it difficult to prove the cost competitiveness versus diesel fuel.
