- US electric truck charging depot specialist, WattEV, has announced an expansion to its commercial EV charging depot in San Bernardino, California.
- The site expansion will now allow it to charge up to 200 electric trucks per day whilst still offering megawatt charging speeds for trucks which support such speeds.
- The depot’s positioning right next to Interstate 215 make it a crucial piece of infrastructure for the state’s growing fleet of electric trucks.
More electric truck charging infrastructure comes to California
WattEV is kicking off 2026 with a significant expansion to its busiest charging depot in San Bernardino, California, one of several depots operated by WattEV along the west coast. Located on a key freight corridor linking the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, it’s a key piece of infrastructure to allow more trucking companies to confidently make the switch to fully-electric models.
The upgrade includes the addition of 30 250kW CCS connectors and 6 megawatt charging connectors, helping to significantly expand capacity at the site. With the new charging points, this depot now has a total charging capacity of 11.5MW, and it also cements the San Bernardino hub’s position as one of the largest commercial truck charging sites in the United States.
Beyond depot operations, WattEV is also running its own transport fleet, offering a ‘Truck-as-a-Service’ model for operators, which bundles access to class 8 electric trucks, insurance, charging, and maintenance in one package.
Salim Youssefzadeh, CEO of WattEV, commented:
“WattEV’s vertically integrated approach is what truly sets us apart in the charging and fleet electrification sector. 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.
With the expansion, 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.”
