EV Realty opens 76-port truck-charging hub in California's Inland Empire
EV Realty has launched its flagship heavy-duty charging site near San Bernardino, California, with 76 high-power ports capable of serving over 200 medium and heavy-duty trucks daily. The hub, located close to the San Bernardino Intermodal Facility and Interstates 10 and 215, serves an area with approximately 17,000 medium and heavy-duty trucks and already counts J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Gate City Beverage and Nevoya among its customers. The site offers both CCS and MCS charging ports to accommodate all truck makes and models.
Why it matters
The facility demonstrates commercial-scale deployment of heavy-duty charging infrastructure in a critical freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, signalling growing demand for multi-fleet depot charging solutions. The mix of CCS and MCS standards and the presence of major logistics customers indicate the site is designed for long-term fleet electrification beyond pilot programmes.

ENC wins place on Washington State cooperative transit bus contract spanning diesel to battery electric
ENC has secured a position on the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services statewide transit bus contract, covering eight categories across four propulsion types and two vehicle lengths. The awarded configurations include clean diesel, compressed natural gas, diesel electric hybrid and battery electric buses, each available in 35 foot and 40 foot versions. The contract is a FAST Act compliant cooperative purchasing agreement allowing transit agencies in Washington and participating states to procure buses through a centralised framework.
Why it matters
The cooperative contract structure simplifies procurement for multiple transit agencies seeking to electrify fleets, while ENC's inclusion across all propulsion types positions the manufacturer to capture orders as agencies transition from diesel to battery electric. ENC was sold by REV Group to Rivaz for approximately 52 million dollars in late 2024 and restarted production last year.
