Terawatt Infrastructure’s Ambitious Expansion of EV Depots in Major U.S. Cities
Terawatt Infrastructure is significantly bolstering its presence in the electric vehicle (EV) sector with the development of four new commercial EV depots. These facilities, located in South San Francisco, Nashville, Miami, and Dallas, are set to offer a combined 22 MW of charging capacity, which will support over 3,000 vehicles daily.
Currently, facilities in California and Tennessee are operational, while the expansion into Florida and Texas is slated for completion by the end of 2026. This initiative is part of Terawatt’s strategy to create dedicated charging hubs in key metropolitan areas across the United States.
Designed to cater to both commercial electric and autonomous fleets, the new depots also accommodate heavy-duty logistics vehicles. The Dallas/Fort Worth facility, the largest among the new sites, will provide 7 MW of power and is anticipated to open in the fourth quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, a 6.6 MW depot near San Francisco International Airport is already in service.
In Nashville, a 4.5 MW site supports local fleet operations near the airport, and the Miami facility, located in the Design District/Wynwood area, will soon begin operations for a commercial fleet operator.
Despite differences in individual depot sizes, Terawatt maintains a consistent approach to developing charging infrastructure, overseeing the entire process from site design to utility interconnection. The company manages operations with its Charge Management Software, ensuring efficient energy use and 24/7 maintenance services.
This model allows fleet operators to access fully functional charging depots without the burden of managing construction themselves, offering an alternative to arrangements that require fleets to develop their infrastructure.
An example of Terawatt’s development process can be seen in the South San Francisco project, where a 6.6 MW facility was completed ahead of schedule through collaboration with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), achieving significant cost savings.
Terawatt’s expertise in utility coordination is crucial in establishing high-capacity charging facilities, as demonstrated in the South San Francisco project. This involves more than just installing charging equipment, but also managing the entire interconnection process.
The company serves notable clients like Waymo and Flexdrive by Lyft, catering to both commercial and autonomous vehicle fleets. However, Terawatt has not disclosed which specific fleets will utilize the newly announced depots.
Terawatt’s current operations have dispensed over 30 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, facilitating more than 93 million miles of driving range for commercial EV fleets. These figures highlight the company’s existing achievements, separate from future projections for the new locations.
The specifics of the charging stalls, power ratings, vehicle assignments, and pricing for the new depots remain undisclosed. As Miami and Dallas prepare to go live by year-end, Terawatt is poised to enhance its national network of charging depots, with further expansions planned for 2027.
