WattEV opens largest publicly accessible EV truck charging depot in the country in the Port of Long Beach, California.
When it comes to charging infrastructure, most of the focus over the past decades has been on establishing charging corridors along interstates for the benefit of EV owners, no matter how infrequently coast-to-coast trips for average EV owners actually happen. There are certainly some frequent fliers who do coast-to-coast trips—let's put it that way—but these corridors have also tended to allow station builders to say that cross-country trips are now possible with their networks.
"There was a tremendous amount of effort that went into getting this site operational within 14 months," said WattEV co-founder and CEO Salim Youssefzadeh.
