WattEV expands charging capacity at San Bernardino depot

WattEV has increased its high-speed charging capacity and expanded the number of charging ports at its busiest electric truck charging depot in San Bernardino according to a statement from the company.

The San Bernardino truck charging depot will now be able to charge up to 200 electric trucks per day while offering megawatt charging capability for trucks compatible with MCS standards. This volume compares to what a traditional diesel truck stop would service in a day.

“WattEV’s vertically integrated approach is what truly sets us apart in the charging and fleet electrification sector,” said CEO Salim Youssefzadeh in the statement. “That model is now driving measurable results. At our San Bernardino depot, strong and sustained utilization – currently averaging approximately 700 MWh per month – has created the need to more than double the site’s capacity.”

WattEV’s San Bernardino depot, located next to Interstate 215, is now one of the largest commercial EV truck charging sites in the country.

“With the expansion,” Youssefzadeh said, “we’ve added 30 additional CCS connectors and six MCS connectors, significantly increasing throughput and future-proofing the site for next-generation electric trucks. San Bernardino sits at the center of some of the most freight-dense corridors in the country, and scaling this depot enables us to support real-world fleet growth with reliable charging, dependable operations, and infrastructure designed for long-term, commercial deployment.”

The San Bernardino charging depot now has 11.5 MW of total charging capacity, 30 250kW CCS ports, and six 1.2MW MCS ports added to its existing 24 ports.
