Einride Launches First Large-Scale EV Charging Station for Freight Trucks in the U.S.

The station, located near Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, marks a significant step towards electrifying the U.S. freight industry.

  • Einride's first Smartcharger station in the U.S. has opened in Lynwood, California, featuring 65 chargers with the capacity to charge 200 vehicles a day.
  • The station is part of a broader effort to transition the freight trucking market to electric vehicles, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and improve sustainability.
  • Currently, the station primarily serves Einride’s electric fleets, including routes for global shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk.
  • Additional EV charging stations are planned on both the East and West coasts of the U.S., with California leading in the development of EV infrastructure for freight trucks.
  • Government and utility incentives, combined with new emissions mandates, are driving the investment in EV charging infrastructure for the freight industry.
