WattEV's mission towards zero-emissions in the Class 8 heavy-duty freight market isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
The Trucking-as-a-Service (TaaS), California-based company has confirmed it's surpassed 75,000 miles a week of zero-emission freight transport. The announcement was made last week at the 2025 ACT Expo.
"We surpassed three million miles of freight deliveries in Southern California in March 2025,” said Salim Youssefzadeh, CEO of WattEV, “and we have proven that electrification of heavy-duty freight can be achieved economically and at scale."

To date, WattEV has opened and continues to operate five public electric truck charging hubs. The Bakersfield location serves as its flagship depot because it has the distinction of being the country's first grid-scale, solar-powered charging truck stop. In other words, it produces emission-free energy.
"With our proven islanded solar charging facility,” Youssefzadeh continued, “something no one has done before, we are now ready to replicate that along the West Coast’s major freight corridors in preparation for megawatt charging of production trucks next year."
Earlier this year, the company announced plans to add 40 Tesla Semis its fleet, which are set for delivery sometime later this year. They'll be assigned to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The latter is the country's largest port complex.
The company says its next batch of battery-electric trucks will be capable of a full charge in less than 30 minutes with a 500-mile range.
WattEV's long-term goal is to have 12,000 heavy-duty electric trucks on California's roads by 2030, and a total of 100 charging stations in operation by 2035.
