and are set to team up by linking access to their nascent California battery-electric truck charging networks, the companies said.

The partners believe the collaboration will help motor carriers scale their zero-emission freight operations, partly as a result of streamlined fleet charging access, they said Aug. 26.

Customers will be able to access facilities later this year in Vernon and San Bernardino, Calif., with more to come in both Northern and Southern California.

The San Bernardino site will comprise more than 75 charging ports, with both combined charging system (CCS) and megawatt charging system (MCS) options available. A groundbreaking for the San Bernardino facility is scheduled to take place in the fall, a spokesman said.

Prologis’ Vernon facility near the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles offers 32 charging berths for Class 2 to Class 8 vehicles.

Many of the charging infrastructure sites are expected to be located along major freight corridors and near ports.

EV Realty is not releasing any details around additional sites in 2026 at the moment, the spokesman said.

“Simplified charging solutions are critical to scaling electric fleets,” said EV Realty CEO Patrick Sullivan. “Charging infrastructure isn’t just about hardware — it’s about a seamless customer experience that actually works for operators in the field. This collaboration tackles the practical challenges that drivers and fleet managers face every day by creating a more unified system that can scale with demand.”

EV Realty develops, owns and operates electric vehicle charging hubs. Prologis Mobility offers a subscription-based EV charging service that covers design, construction, energy procurement, hardware, software and maintenance.

“We’re working to clear the roadblocks for our customers that slow down fleet electrification,” said Henrik Holland, global head of Prologis Mobility. “Reliable, accessible charging is a major enabler to accelerated electric truck adoption. This partnership delivers on that by connecting networks and putting convenient charging exactly where fleets need it most.”

A paucity of public charging infrastructure has been one of a number of elements curbing appetite for battery-electric trucks over the past couple of years, even in California.

Recent congressional and Trump administration proposals, including voiding the Golden State’s federal pre-emption waiver to set its own emissions rules, have added to the uncertainty over uptake for battery-electric trucks.

Truck manufacturers including Daimler Truck North America, meanwhile, have been laying off production plant employees, partly as a result of weaker-than-predicted appetite for battery-electric trucks. DTNA is the parent company of Freightliner and Western Star.

As DTNA told the California Air Resources Board in a recent filing: “The single biggest factor inhibiting sales is a complete lack of adequate charging infrastructure to support commercial zero-emission vehicles.”
