Prologis and EV Realty Partner to Improve Truck Charging Infrastructure in California.

Prologis and EV Realty are partnering to expand access to high-power charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty truck fleets in California. The collaboration will provide users with increased access to charging hubs near ports and major freight lanes, with initial hubs opening in Vernon and San Bernardino later this year. The companies aim to create a unified system that can scale with demand and serve as a template for other busy freight markets across the country.

Prologis and EV Realty have announced a strategic partnership to enhance access to high-power charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty truck fleets across California. The collaboration aims to streamline charging operations and facilitate the transition to zero-emission vehicles, particularly in the freight industry [1].

The joint effort will focus on integrating EV Realty's and Prologis Mobility's charging sites along key Northern and Southern California freight corridors. This initiative is designed to provide fleet operators with a more consistent and scalable approach to charging, reducing the complexities associated with multiple charging networks and platforms [1].

The first charging hubs are set to open in Vernon and San Bernardino later this year, with additional hubs planned across both Northern and Southern California. The unified system will offer fleet operators a seamless experience, addressing the practical challenges faced by drivers and fleet managers daily [1].

The collaboration is a response to a key hurdle in commercial EV adoption: a fragmented charging ecosystem. By streamlining access and software systems across both networks, EV Realty and Prologis Mobility aim to simplify charging and reduce delays for fleet managers [1].

The initiative reflects findings from a joint study by Prologis and the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium, which identified shared infrastructure models as a key enabler of commercial EV deployment [1]. The integrated network is expected to expand access for medium and heavy-duty electric trucks, support regional logistics operations, and serve as a replicable model for infrastructure coordination in other major freight markets [1].

EV Realty develops, owns, and operates high-powered EV charging hubs designed to solve critical barriers to fleet electrification, such as access to reliable, low-cost, scalable grid power. Their Powered Properties® are strategically located near major freight corridors and industrial centers, providing dedicated, secure charging solutions [1].

Prologis Mobility, a solution provided by Prologis, Inc., offers a subscription-based EV charging service with no upfront costs, covering design, construction, energy procurement, hardware, software, and maintenance. They are also developing public and private heavy-duty EV charging hubs strategically located within Prologis’ global logistics portfolio, along with workplace charging solutions to support fleet and employee electrification [1].

This collaboration underscores the commitment of both companies to fostering a more sustainable and efficient freight industry by addressing the critical infrastructure needs of electric truck fleets.
