EV Realty says it chooses heavy-duty charging hub sites around the routes and needs of fleet customers, while weighing property and utility factors. Its San Bernardino hub opened in April 2026, and the company acquired a second site in Ontario, California, in September, with construction planned for 2027. The available report does not detail the Ontario site’s power capacity, customer commitments or utility arrangements.
EV Realty says it chooses electric truck charging hub sites around fleet customers, freight routes and grid readiness, rather than relying on drivers to arrive spontaneously. The approach is reflected in its San Bernardino hub, opened in April 2026, and a second property acquired in Ontario, California, in September, where construction is planned for 2027.
In an interview with Charged EVs, EV Realty President Henrik Holland described the company’s model as acquiring, developing and operating properties intended to serve regular freight and logistics customers. The report says the company aims to take a project from undeveloped land through to an operating charging site. It does not provide a detailed checklist, scoring system or financial thresholds used to select individual properties.
The company’s first Powered Property is in San Bernardino, an area the report says is home to about 17,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks, underscoring the need for electric truck charging infrastructure. Opened in April 2026, the site has 76 high-power charging ports and 9 megawatts of total capacity, which EV Realty says can serve more than 200 trucks a day. Kempower equipment supports charging at up to 500 kilowatts using CCS and up to 1.2 megawatts using MCS, similar to the high-power approach in truck charging deployments. Synop software supports reservations and reporting on cost, range and efficiency; the site also has staff, parking and amenities available around the clock.
EV Realty has announced J.B. Hunt Transport, Gate City Beverage and Nevoya as customers for the San Bernardino hub. In September 2026 it acquired another site in Ontario, also in Southern California and not far from San Bernardino. The report says construction is to start in 2027, but gives no capacity or opening date for the Ontario project.
Fleet Demand Shapes Hub Locations
The site-selection approach reflects a difference between public passenger-car charging and charging for commercial trucks. Car-charging operators may choose locations based on the likelihood that drivers will stop there. Freight fleets, by contrast, often follow regular routes and need charging available at particular places and times. The report says heavy-duty charging providers therefore tend to build with specific customers in mind and offer service on a subscription basis.
For fleets, a hub’s value depends on more than its geographic position: trucks must be able to use it as part of their operations, and the site needs enough power and equipment to support their charging schedules. A property that cannot secure suitable utility service may not meet those needs, even if it is near freight activity. Holland has highlighted utility coordination as part of the site-development challenge, although the interview material provided does not spell out how EV Realty negotiates or schedules grid upgrades.
The model also puts property ownership and development at the center of the company’s strategy. By controlling sites intended for regular freight customers, EV Realty is seeking to develop charging capacity where fleets operate, rather than waiting for uncertain walk-in demand. Whether that approach can be repeated economically across more locations is not established by the report.

Southern California Freight Corridors
The report describes heavy-duty charging hubs as concentrated in Southern California, near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the surrounding warehouses and logistics centers. That freight concentration gives operators access to potential fleet customers, but site selection still involves property development and power availability, not simply proximity to a port or highway.
EV Realty launched in 2022 to provide turnkey charging solutions for electric truck fleets. Holland joined as president after working in energy and charging-related roles, including at Shell, where he worked on clean-energy investments and mobility strategy, and at Prologis, where he helped develop fleet charging. He told Charged EVs that the Prologis network he worked on grew to about 70 megawatts across the United States and Europe. That account describes his experience; it is not a measure of EV Realty’s current network.
The San Bernardino facility is the company’s first reported operating Powered Property. The later Ontario acquisition represents a planned addition in the same regional freight market, but the report does not say that the two sites form a connected charging network or disclose how much demand the Ontario property is expected to serve.
“We have the capability to take a site from a piece of dirt all the way through to an operating charging project.”
— Henrik Holland, EV Realty president, speaking to Charged EVs
Ontario Project Details Remain Open
The report does not disclose the Ontario site’s planned charging capacity, number of ports, expected daily truck volume, named customers, construction budget or projected opening date. It also does not specify which utilities will serve the property, whether grid upgrades are required or how long utility work could take.
For San Bernardino, the report provides installed capacity and announced customer names, but does not give utilization figures, subscription terms, prices or operating results. Its estimate that the hub can serve more than 200 trucks per day is attributed to the company and is not accompanied by a stated operating schedule or assumptions. Those details would help readers judge how actual fleet use compares with the stated service capacity.
Ontario Construction Is Planned
EV Realty plans to begin construction at its Ontario property in 2027. The company’s next milestones will include further details on the project’s design, utility service, schedule and any fleet customers, none of which are provided in the report. Updates on San Bernardino’s operating performance could also show how reservations and charging capacity are being used in practice.
Until those details emerge, the confirmed development is the acquisition of the Ontario site and the stated construction plan—not an operating facility or a completed expansion of charging capacity.
Key Questions
How does EV Realty choose sites for electric truck charging hubs?
EV Realty says it targets properties near fleet customers and regular freight activity and aims to develop grid-ready sites. The report does not describe a formal site-scoring process or list specific thresholds.
Where is EV Realty’s operating hub?
Its first Powered Property opened in San Bernardino, California, in April 2026. The site has 76 charging ports and 9 megawatts of total power capacity, according to the report.
What is planned for the Ontario site?
EV Realty acquired a property in Ontario, California, in September 2026, and construction is planned to start in 2027. The report does not state the site’s capacity, customer list or expected opening date.
Why are truck-charging hubs planned around fleet customers?
Truck fleets often run regular routes and need charging at predictable locations and times. That differs from passenger-car charging, where operators may depend more on drivers choosing to stop at a public site.
