Voltera has acquired two new charging infrastructure sites in California, expanding its total portfolio to 22 locations across five states. The sites will serve zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) fleets.
The first site, located in Wilmington, California, is a 0.85-acre property situated four miles from the Port of Long Beach and five miles from the Port of Los Angeles. The location can support up to 30 charging stalls and has secured a five-megawatt power supply from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The site has received $4.1 million in grants: $2.3 million from the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Carl Moyer Program and $1.8 million from the Federal Highway Administration.
The second location in West Sacramento spans 2.75 acres and can accommodate up to 100 charging stalls with a one-megawatt power supply. The site is located near the I-5 and I-80 highways.
“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.
“This is a testament to Voltera’s commitment to overcoming the complexities of site development and accelerating the deployment of zero-emission fleet infrastructure across California and the U.S.,” added Brett Hauser, Voltera Chairman of the Board.
The company, backed by infrastructure investor EQT, evaluated over 1,200 sites in 2023. The new locations join Voltera’s existing network across California, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Florida.
“The location of charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is crucial for a sustainable energy transition in the trucking sector,” said Dawn Fenton, Board Chairperson of Powering America’s Commercial Transportation.
