The site, located three miles from Los Angeles International Airport in Inglewood, features 29 DC fast chargers and advanced automated site management features. These include robust data infrastructure and proactive and preventative site maintenance, which will provide a high level of charging reliability for electric fleets. Operators can leverage real-time data insights, energy usage and scheduling insights, remote monitoring and alerts, and ongoing support to streamline electric fleet management.

The California Air Resources Board reports that light-duty vehicles account for 70% of the transportation sector's direct emissions, driving the need for EV adoption. Globally, the International Energy Agency forecasts that EV sales in 2024 are expected to remain robust, increasing by 20% compared to 2023, adding more incentive for EV charging infrastructure to keep pace with growing demand.

The LAX site opening comes on the heels of Terawatt's coalition announcement with world-leading shippers and carriers to pilot long-haul heavy-duty battery-electric vehicle operations along the I-10 corridor at six Terawatt owned charging hubs. This accelerates fleet electrification momentum in California following the launch of Terawatt's pilot charging sites in Commerce and Rancho Dominguez, CA. These pilots enable fleets to progress on their electrification journeys while full-build infrastructure projects gradually become operational. Terawatt is currently developing 15 sites across several states, including the I-10 corridor from the Port of Long Beach in Los Angeles, California to El Paso, Texas.
