Prologis and Maersk just launched an EV charging depot that will be able to charge up to 96 heavy-duty electric trucks at the same time.
that will be able to charge up to 96 heavy-duty electric trucks at the same time. Performance Team, which is part of Maersk, will be using a fleet of Volvo VNR Electric trucks at the depot. These are tractor trailers with a range of about 240 miles per charge and they can recharge to about 80% in 90 minutes. The new truck charging depot is located near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.. To put it very mildly, diesel exhaust is not good for human health.
When will it be operating at this capacity, and about how many trucks will be charged daily at the depot? Against the backdrop of California’s requirements to end the sale of diesel trucks and move to electric drayage trucks by 2035 and electric heavy-duty trucks by 2045, companies like Performance Team are investing in charging infrastructure to support operations. This project is a key connector in the infrastructure needed to meet the state’s goals.
Onsite solar would not be able to provide the power needed for such a significant EV truck fleet charging installation. For this project and size, we would have needed over 100 acres of solar and a massive battery to have this operate 24/7. At this site, we had 3 acres available. during the installation phase of what one of the largest construction jobs in EV charging infrastructure in North America. In the operating phase, we expect several hundred jobs to be supported, both directly and indirectly. For example, 300 trucks with two daily shifts operational mode require at least 600 drivers.The site is compatible with any typical North American electric truck. Being close to the ports will lead to a heavy usage of drayage trucks.
