This week, Voltera announced that it is expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure network by adding two new ZEV infrastructure development sites that are strategically located across key transportation hubs in California.
The newly acquired prime site covers 0.85 acres off Pacific Coast Highway in Wilmington, CA, and is conveniently located just four miles from the port of Long Beach and five miles from the Port of Los Angeles. The company believes that it is the right place to support important electricity generation projects in the region. The facility can accommodate up to 30 electric stalls and already receives up to five megawatts of electricity from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
The second site, covering 2.75 acres in West Sacramento, CA, is conveniently located near the I-5 and I-80 freeways. That site will use up to 100 electrified charging stations with more than a megawatt of power.
Once operational, the West Sacramento location will be Voltera's largest electric vehicle charging station, taking the crown from the 65-port station Voltera operated for transportation company Einride in March.
“Securing these two sites in California is an important step forward in our work to support the electrification of commercial vessels,” said Sylvia Hendron, Chief Development Officer at Votera. “Each location has been carefully selected and developed to meet the unique needs of ZEV's fleet, from proximity to major shipping routes to access to the necessary funding.”
The two new California charging stations bring the company's complete portfolio to 22 sites that are conveniently located in all major transportation hubs in California, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Florida. The sites are partially funded by grants and incentives (as mentioned, above), and are part of a major $150M expansion that began earlier this year.
Matt Curwood, Voltera's charging bus sales director, was recently a guest speaker Fast Chargingwhere he explained how the Voltera Power model enables him to charge school vehicles and fleet managers across the US. You can check that out, below.
