Fleet electrification firm Terawatt Infrastructure has launched its charging site for light-duty fleets in high-traffic areas of Los Angeles, California.
The site, located three miles from Los Angeles International Airport in Inglewood, includes 29 DC fast chargers and advanced automated site management features like robust data infrastructure and proactive and preventive site maintenance, which will provide a high level of charging reliability for electric fleets.
Operators will receive benefits like real-time data insights, energy usage and scheduling insights, remote monitoring and alerts, and ongoing support to streamline electric fleet management.

The site launch was announced after Terawatt's partnership with shippers and carriers to pilot long-haul heavy-duty battery-electric vehicle operations along the I-10 corridor at six of its charging hubs, and increases fleet electrification momentum in California following the launch of Terawatt's pilot charging sites in Commerce and Rancho Dominguez, CA.
The pilots will help fleets with electrification, while full-build infrastructure projects become operational.
Currently, Terawatt is 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. According to the the California Air Resources Board, light-duty vehicles account for 70 percent of the transportation sector's direct emissions, driving the need for EV adoption.
Globally, the International Energy Agency forecasts that EV sales in 2024 will increase by 20 percent as compared to 2023, adding more incentive for EV charging infrastructure to keep pace with growing demand.
