Since last January, the LAX Depot has expanded to include 78 DC Fast Chargers, allowing the facility to increase charging capacity and reduce wait times to improve efficiency for fleet operators. 

Zeem Solutions, founded in 2017, has already established partnerships with some of the EV trucking industry's main manufacturers and technology providers. Its flagship LAX Depot is a 3.1-acre site that opened in December 2021 and remains one of the largest commercial charging depots in the world. Currently serving over a dozen third-party cargo and passenger fleets, it boasts 15 DC fast-charging ports and 24 Level 2 chargers, 24/7 staffing, and a drivers' lounge complete with WiFi, among other amenities. 

The company currently has three charging depots, including LAX, and aims to launch 14 additional depots nationwide over the next 36 months, according to its official website. 

"Achieving this level of activity at our LAX Depot is a testament to the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions and our team's commitment to bring this service to fleets everywhere," said Don Peer, vice president of sales. "We are proud to support fleet operators in their journey towards electrification and are committed to continuing our efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality in the region."
