This week, Voltera announced it was expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure network with the addition of two new ZEV infrastructure development sites strategically positioned across key transit hubs in California.
The first newly acquired site covers 0.85 acres off the Pacific Coast Highway in Wilmington, CA, and is strategically located just four miles from the Port of Long Beach and five miles from the Port of Los Angeles. The company believes that it’s and ideal location to support the region’s significant electric drayage operations. The site can accommodate up to 30 electrified stalls and has already secured a power supply of up to five megawatts from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
The second site, spanning 2.75 acres in West Sacramento, CA, is strategically positioned near both the I-5 and the I-80 highways. That site will operate up to 100 electrified charging stalls with over a megawatt of power.
Once operational, the West Sacramento site will become Voltera’s largest commercial electric vehicle charging depot, taking the crown from the 65 port station Voltera operates for logistics company Einride back in March.
“Securing these two sites in California is a significant step forward in our mission to support the electrification of commercial fleets,” said Sylvia Hendron, Chief Development Officer at Voltera. “Each location has been carefully chosen and developed to meet the unique needs of ZEV fleets, from proximity to key transit routes to securing necessary funding.”
The two new California charging depots brings the company’s total portfolio to 22 sites strategically positioned across key transit hubs in California, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Florida. The sites are funded in part by grants and incentives (as mentioned, above), and are part of a larger $150M expansion that kicked off earlier this year.
Matt Curwood, the director of bus charging sales at Voltera, was recently a guest on Quick Charge, where he explained how Voltera Power’s model is demystifying the charging experience for school and transit bus fleets for fleet managers across the US. You can check that out, below.
