WattEV has recently inaugurated its seventh heavy-duty electric truck charging depot in California. The Fresno WattEV charging depot creates a key link between the ports of Oakland, Stockton and inland freight hubs in the northern San Joaquin Valley. Indeed, the Fresno depot is located on the busy Highway 99 corridor in the Californian city.

Another heavy-duty truck charging hub in California for WattEV

According to the company, these depots will serve as hubs for zero-emission freight hauling between the Central Valley and the Port of Oakland, with fleets serving the port leasing 500-mile-range Tesla Semi trucks WattEV is adding to its growing fleet. Looking at the near future, WattEV is scheduled to break ground this summer on an additional solar-powered charging depot directly across Interstate 5 from Sacramento International Airport.

“We’re excited to see the Northern California portion of our network coming together just in time for the arrival of the Tesla trucks,” said Salim Youssefzadeh, CEO and co-founder of WattEV. “This project is a milestone for us. Northern California is now poised to benefit from the expansion of electrified freight hauling we’ve helped build up in Southern California. We’re excited about moving zero-emission freight through Fresno, which is within easy reach of both the Port of Oakland and our solar-powered Bakersfield depot, which is the gateway to our Southern California network”.
