Voltera expands electric truck charging infrastructure with two new sites in California

Voltera, a developer of charging infrastructure for zero-emission vehicle fleets, recently acquired two new ZEV infrastructure development sites. This brings the company’s total to 22 sites positioned across key transit hubs in California, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Florida. 

The first newly acquired site, a 0.85-acre parcel at 1707 East Pacific Coast Highway in Wilmington, California, is located four miles from the Port of Long Beach and five miles from the Port of Los Angeles. 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, according to Voltera. Additionally, Voltera has obtained an exemption from the local truck use moratorium, ensuring smooth operations.

The Wilmington site has been awarded grants totaling $4.1 million to reduce truck emissions and improve air quality in Southern California. These grants come from the South Coast Air Quality Management District's Carl Moyer Program ($2.3 million) and the Federal Highway Administration's Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities Program ($1.8 million).

The second site, spanning 2.75 acres at 3755 Industrial Boulevard, West Sacramento, California, is positioned close to the I-5 and the I-80 highways. It holds up to 100 electrified charging stalls and has secured a power supply of one megawatt, according to Voltera.

“Securing these two sites in California is a significant step forward in our mission to support the electrification of commercial fleets,” Sylvia Hendron, chief development officer at Voltera, said. “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.”
