One of the busiest HDEV charging depots in the country got a major upgrade last week, enabling it to charge up to 200 electric semi trucks per day and offer megawatt charging to trucks that can handle the power!
The WattEV truck charging depot in San Bernardino, California announced that it’s expanded its EV charger array to support up to 200 electric semi truck charging cycles per day — but the upgrades don’t stop there. The site now features megawatt charging capability, enabling trucks compatible with MCS standards to power up their massive batteries in record time.
WattEV says the latest updates to the site enable it to serve daily truck volumes similar to what a traditional diesel truck stop can handle.
“WattEV’s vertically integrated approach is what truly sets us apart in the charging and fleet electrification sector,” explained WattEV CEO, Salim Youssefzadeh, in a statement. “That model is now driving measurable results. At our San Bernardino depot, strong and sustained utilization (currently averaging approximately 700 MWh per month) has created the need to more than double the site’s capacity.”
Fleet as a service
In addition to offering fleet operators in and around the Inland Empire access to managed EV charging infrastructure and maintenance, WattEV operates its own fleet of battery electric semi trucks, offering Truck-as-a-Service as a turn-key solution for local carriers and logistics fleets that, the company says, uses proprietary scheduling and routing software to produce cost-effective, zero-emissions results — and the site’s recent expansion further adds to that value proposition.
“With the expansion,” Youssefzadeh adds, “we’ve added 30 additional CCS connectors and six MCS connectors, significantly increasing throughput and future-proofing the site for next-generation electric trucks. San Bernardino sits at the center of some of the most freight-dense corridors in the country, and scaling this depot enables us to support real-world fleet growth with reliable charging, dependable operations, and infrastructure designed for long-term, commercial deployment.”
WattEV’s San Bernardino charging depot now offers more than 11 MW of total charging capacity, with thirty 250 kW CCS ports and six 1.2 MW (!) MCS ports added to its previous count of 24 CCS ports. The company plans to continue to expand its network, which currently stretches from the Port of Long Beach to San Bernardino and north to Bakersfield, throughout 2026.
