Performance Team to build truck charging depot in California
The new charging hub will be located directly off the Harbor (110) Freeway in Los Angeles on Denker Avenue, within five miles of Interstate 405 and California State Route 91 (SR91). The Denker charging depot, as the initiators refer to it, will be capable of charging up to 96 EV trucks at the same time.
Prologis and Performance Team managed to construct the facility in only five months. Performance Team will be using a fleet of Volvo VNR Electric trucks. This also marks the third commercial truck EV charging project Prologis Mobility and Performance Team opened together in Southern California. The Performance Team facilities in Santa Fe are equipped with Prologis Mobility charging infrastructure and provide a total of 4 MW of charging capacity; enough to charge 38 electric trucks.
Performance Team estimates that about 20,000 trucks are currently serving the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, it will take continued collaboration between government, regulators and private industry to build the infrastructure and equipment necessary to support the trucking industry’s transition.
“We’re delighted to collaborate with Maersk on this important and innovative new commercial truck charging facility,” said Henrik Holland, global head of Prologis Mobility. “To bring the depot online quickly, we delivered an innovative on-demand charging solution as an interim power connection measure. The transition to zero emissions is a priority for both companies, and we’re proud to be on this journey together.”
