As electric semi truck race heats up, SoCal is getting another charging hub

As record-breaking diesel prices drive demand for electric big rigs, so, too is the demand for commercial truck charging climbing. To meet that demand, EV Realty as announced a new, Inland Empire site for its next electric semi truck charging hub.

With companies like BYD and Volvo about to roll out their third generation electric trucks and the Tesla Semi allegedly in production after nearly a decade of waiting, it seems like American fleets are starting to understand what the rest of the world has already figured out: predictable fuel costs means predictable operating budgets, and predictable budgets means less volatile consumer pricing and a happier, less guillotine-y populace. To that end, fleets are buying EVs in record numbers – much to the dismay of that News Corp/Fox-owned rag, the Wall Street Journal, who are so desperate to spread that narrative that they’ve published essentially the same article under different bylines several times. (lol)

Keeping those fleets topped off with electric fuel is going to be the challenge now, and a number of companies are stepping up with commercial charging hubs designed with broad turning areas, easy highway access, and trailer-friendly pull-through designs built specifically to meet the needs of big rig drivers.

The latest new site, acquired this week by EV Realty, is set to located at 2151 E. Philadelphia Street in what the company calls, “the West Coast’s largest and most concentrated warehousing submarket,” making it an ideal site to service local freight and logistics operations.
