EV Realty Opens 76-Port Charging Hub in San Bernardino to Support Freight Electrification

EV Realty officially opened its flagship truck charging hub in San Bernardino on Thursday, marking a significant step in the electrification of freight transportation in Southern California's vital logistics corridor. The facility delivers 76 high-power charging ports with a combined capacity of 9 megawatts, positioning it as one of the larger dedicated truck charging operations in the Inland Empire. The hub addresses a critical infrastructure gap as trucking companies increasingly transition to electric vehicles to meet state and federal emissions regulations. The San Bernardino location is strategically positioned within one of North America's busiest freight hubs, serving as a distribution nexus for cargo bound to regional ports and across the western United States. The charging infrastructure is designed to support both long-haul operations and regional drayage services that move containers from ports to inland distribution centers. The development reflects growing investment in EV charging infrastructure as the trucking industry faces mounting pressure to reduce emissions. California's Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation requires increasing percentages of new truck sales to be zero-emission vehicles, with 55% of new Class 8 truck sales mandated to be ZEVs by 2035. This regulatory environment has accelerated demand for publicly accessible charging facilities that can support rapid turnaround times critical for freight operations. The hub's 9 MW capacity represents substantial power infrastructure development, enabling efficient charging cycles essential for logistics operations where downtime directly impacts operational economics and supply chain reliability. According to FreightWaves, the facility represents a major investment in supporting the broader electrification goals of Southern California's logistics ecosystem, which connects major ports to distribution networks throughout North America.
