EV Realty has announced a new electric truck charging hub in Southern California's Inland Empire, responding to rising demand for commercial EV charging as fleets shift away from diesel. The site, located in Ontario, sits near the SR-60 and I-15 freeways and close to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as major intermodal facilities and Ontario International Airport.
The company says the location is ideal for serving local freight and logistics operations, calling it the West Coast's largest warehousing submarket. CEO Patrick Sullivan noted that when the site comes online, EV Realty will have 27 MW of simultaneous truck charging capacity across the region, describing the project as a step toward real scale for truck electrification.
Grid capacity in Southern California is constrained in many areas, which EV Realty says makes this high-capacity site particularly valuable for fleet operators. The company expects construction to start early next year, with chargers operational before 2028. The announcement comes as manufacturers like BYD and Volvo prepare next-generation electric trucks and the Tesla Semi reportedly moves toward production. The source notes that record diesel prices and a desire for predictable operating costs are driving fleet adoption, though it also includes editorial commentary not central to the announcement. The factual details above are drawn directly from the company's statements as reported.
