EV Realty and Prologis Mobility have announced a strategic collaboration to enhance electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across California’s key freight corridors. This partnership aims to streamline access to high-power charging for commercial fleets, facilitating the transition to zero-emission trucks by addressing critical barriers in the charging ecosystem.
Key Highlights:
- Collaborative Charging Network: EV Realty and Prologis Mobility will connect their charging sites in Northern and Southern California.
- Strategic Hub Locations: Initial hubs in Vernon and San Bernardino will open later this year, with more planned.
- Simplified Fleet Operations: The shared access model reduces complexity for fleet operators managing multiple charging networks.
- Support for Zero-Emission Goals: The initiative supports the scaling of electric truck adoption in logistics.
- Research-Backed Approach: A Prologis and MIT study highlights shared infrastructure as key to commercial EV deployment.
Streamlining Commercial EV Charging
The collaboration focuses on integrating EV Realty and Prologis Mobility’s charging networks to create a unified system for fleet operators. By coordinating access to high-power charging hubs near ports, logistics centers, and major freight routes, the partnership ensures reliable and scalable charging solutions. The first hubs, set to launch in Vernon and San Bernardino, will serve as critical nodes for medium and heavy-duty electric trucks, with further expansion planned across California.
Addressing Industry Challenges
A major obstacle to commercial EV adoption is the fragmented charging ecosystem, which complicates fleet management with multiple platforms and access tools. This initiative tackles that issue by streamlining software systems and access protocols, reducing delays and improving efficiency for fleet managers. Patrick Sullivan, CEO of EV Realty, emphasized, “Charging infrastructure isn’t just about hardware—it’s about a seamless customer experience that actually works for operators in the field.”
Driving Fleet Electrification
The partnership aligns with findings from a joint study by Prologis and the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium, which identified shared infrastructure as a cornerstone of commercial EV deployment. By offering a replicable model for other freight markets, the initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of electric trucks. Henrik Holland, global head of Prologis Mobility, noted, “Reliable, accessible charging is a major enabler to accelerated electric truck adoption.”
