WattEV hosted a ribbon cutting on Monday, April 15th, opening their newest Electric Truck Charging Station in the City of San Bernardino.

WattEV’s latest charging depot is grid connected and features (12) dual-cord 360kW chargers with the capability of upgrading to MCS (megawatt rapid charging) upon availability of MCS-capable trucks. The current setup is capable of charging 24 electric trucks simultaneously.

Branded simply as “WattEV,” the depot is located right off the busy Interstate 215 in San Bernardino and will serve heavy-duty electric trucks with routes connecting to the Port of Long Beach, Port of Los Angeles and inland destinations throughout Southern California and the west.

The San Bernardino project is the second of several WattEV electric truck charging depots in the works throughout California. The first, located near Terminal A at the Port of Long Beach, opened in 2023. WattEV is at the nation’s forefront in building freight corridors for medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) electric truck charging.

In addition to the Long Beach and San Bernardino truck charging plazas, WattEV is preparing to open a solar-powered electric truck charging stations in Bakersfield in May, and is in the permitting and development phases for a grid-connected charging depot in California’s City of Blythe on Interstate 10, plus solar-powered charging depots on Interstate 5 in Sacramento, Gustine and Taft.

As well, WattEV is developing truck charging depots along Interstate 5 in Salem, Ore., and near the Seattle-Tacoma ports complex in Washington state, with numerous other sites in planning stages, such as Stockton, the Port of Oakland, Vernon, Gardena, Fontana, Perris, Otay Mesa.

To accelerate the nation’s transition to zero-emission truck transport for shippers and fleet operators, WattEV offers its own transport service for shippers with an innovative electric Truck-as-a-Service (TaaS) model that provides fleets or individuals with access to Class 8 battery-electric trucks, reliable maintenance support, insurance and access to charging across WattEV’s entire network, all at a total cost of operation on par with diesel trucks.
