California-based WattEV continues to charge (no pun intended) at full speed ahead.
The Trucking-as-a-Service (TaaS) company has announced an expansion of the charging capacity at its San Bernardino depot, its busiest location.

The San Bernardino site, located off Interstate 215, can now support charging for up to 200 electric trucks daily and includes megawatt-level charging for vehicles equipped to use the MCS standard, a throughput comparable to a conventional diesel truck stop.
"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."

There are now a total of 11.5 megawatts of charging capacity at the site, with 30 250-kW CCS ports and six 1.2-MW MCS ports added to the existing buildout. WattEV expects to expand its charging network in 2026, which currently spans from the Port of Long Beach to Bakersfield, via San Bernardino.

"WattEV's vertically integrated approach is what truly sets us apart in the charging and fleet electrification sector," said CEO Salim Youssefzadeh. "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."
Beyond charging services, WattEV also runs its own electric truck fleet for shippers, offers a Truck-as-a-Service business model for carriers and owner-operators, develops in-house scheduling and routing software, and manufactures charging equipment based on patented technology.
The company adds that it has started work on an Oakland depot and is developing additional charging sites north of Bakersfield along State Route 99.
