Voltera, a developer, owner and operator of charging infrastructure for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) fleets backed by infrastructure investor EQT, has acquired two new infrastructure development sites in California. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The first newly acquired site, in Wilmington, Calif., is located four miles from the Port of Long Beach (POLB) and five miles from the Port of Los Angeles (POLA). The site can accommodate up to 30 electrified stalls and already has secured a power supply of up to 5 megawatts from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Additionally, Voltera has obtained an exemption from the local truck use moratorium, which will ensure smooth operations.
The Wilmington site has been awarded $4.1 million in grants to reduce truck emissions and improve air quality in Southern California from the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Federal Highway Administration's Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities Program
