Slated to go live starting in early 2025, the acquired sites are located in the Agua Mansa Industrial Corridor and in Fontana, near the I-10 and I-15 interchange. At full build, they will jointly provide over 40 megawatts of power, supporting up to 500 trucks per day. TeraWatt also has several more sites nearby under contract.
The metropolitan Inland Empire is centred around Riverside and San Bernardino counties, encompassing industrial cities such as Fontana, Ontario, and Rialto. Boasting the largest concentration of warehouses and distribution centres in the United States, it is a primary hub for fleet operations. And as policy initiatives such as California's Clean Energy Transition Plan gain momentum, regions like the Inland Empire have created demand for a robust network of EV charging solutions to support fleet electrification efforts.
Electrification efforts come at a critical time for the Inland Empire region. Just this April, San Bernardino and Riverside counties ranked number one and two in the nation for the worst ozone pollution.
"We are listening to the needs of customers in the Inland Empire who are experiencing explosive operational growth and until now, didn't have a charging network in place to keep up with the demands to electrify," said Neha Palmer, CEO of TeraWatt. "We are committed to providing a reliable charging solution and understand that convenience, accessibility, and sustainability is paramount in the evolving electric ecosystem.”
TeraWatt provides a full stack charging solution for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleets with a site portfolio spanning 18 states. Services include strategic site acquisition and buildout, proprietary charging software, and in-house operations and maintenance services, with reliability at the forefront of their solution. TeraWatt's network of charging sites can provide solutions for a multi-tenant hub or be custom built for a dedicated fleet.
