The site is owned, operated, and maintained by TeraWatt, providing a full-stack charging solution including software and O&M services. The multi-tenant Inglewood site is slated to be operational in early 2024 and will feature 26 DC Fast Chargers, as well as a driver amenity building. It is conveniently located three miles from the high-traffic LAX area and will provide a high level of charging reliability as the push for zero-emission vehicles continues to gain momentum.
The site was the recipient of a US$1.9 million California Energy Commission (CEC) Charging Access for Reliable On-Demand Transportation Services (CARTS) grant in support of ride-hail electrification in the LAX region.
"With 25% of California's new car buyers purchasing electric vehicles, it's more important now than ever that we ramp up infrastructure to get these cars charged," said Patty Monahan, CEC Commissioner. "The Energy Commission is proud to provide funding for this project to encourage rideshare fleets to electrify and to support the Governor's goal of transitioning all new light-duty vehicles to zero-emission by 2035."
"Our goal is to provide a seamless charging solution with both infrastructure and services so that fleets can more rapidly accelerate their electrification efforts," said Neha Palmer, CEO and co-founder of TeraWatt. "The move to EVs is happening now, not just for consumers, but for fleets transitioning to a zero-emission approach. The Inglewood charging site is the first of many infrastructure build outs that will enable businesses to holistically adopt a sustainable transportation strategy."
