Electric big rigs get a new fast-charge pit stop in California

Terawatt Infrastructure has switched on its newest commercial EV charging hub in Rialto, California, giving electric truck fleets a new high-speed charging stop along one of the US’s busiest freight routes.

The hub is situated on the eastbound side of I-10 and is designed for heavy-duty fleet use, particularly for trucks traveling from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach through Southern California’s industrial centers.

Neha Palmer, Terawatt CEO and cofounder, said, “Our network enables companies to reduce emissions and run a variety of routes across a number of vehicle classes with the confidence of a dependable charging solution. EV fleets can now travel further, more cleanly, without slowing down their operations.”

The Rialto site is built with high‑speed charging, security, and amenities that support daily freight operations. Here’s what it offers:

  • 18 pull‑through 350 kW DC fast‑charging stalls
  • 55 bobtail parking stalls for overnight or shift‑based parking
  • A driver lounge with wifi, climate control, and restrooms
  • License plate recognition for quick entry
  • Solar canopies and 100% renewable‑powered charging
  • 24/7 security with cameras and gated access

Terawatt’s first medium- and heavy-duty electric truck charging stop in California, Rancho Dominguez, opened in April.

In September 2024, Terawatt joined some of the world’s largest shippers and carriers to launch the I-10 Consortium heavy-duty EV operations pilot, described as the first-ever US over-the-road electrified corridor. As part of that effort, Terawatt is providing charging infrastructure, including software, operations, and maintenance support, at six of its owned charging hubs along the I-10 corridor.
