WattEV has just announced that it is deploying 370 @Tesla Semi trucks, the largest single electric truck deployment in California. • ~$100 million worth of Tesla Semis • First 50 Tesla Semis to be delivered in 2026, full fleet by end of 2027 • 300+ of the Tesla Semis will be deployed under a joint program with the Port of Oakland • New Megawatt charging hubs coming in Oakland, Fresno, Stockton & Sacramento • Built to scale zero-emission long-haul freight across key CA corridors “We selected the Tesla Semi based on cost, performance and availability after issuing a public request for proposals,” Salim Youssefzadeh, WattEV’s CEO, announced at the annual ACT Expo industry trade show in Las Vegas today. "With the Tesla Semi now entering mass production and drawing strong reviews from fleet operators nationwide, WattEV’s vertically integrated model – combining vehicle deployment, megawatt-class charging infrastructure, and full-service leasing – offers a turn-key path for carriers without any capital risk." More than 300 of the Tesla Semis will be deployed under a joint program with the Port of Oakland. Delivery of the first 50 Semis coincides with WattEV’s planned opening of truck-charging stations at the Port of Oakland and in Fresno, both equipped with Tesla’s Megawatt Charging System chargers capable of providing 300 miles of range to a Semi in approximately 30 minutes, comparable to a conventional diesel fill-up. Additional depots are scheduled to open this year in Stockton along with Sacramento breaking ground in 2026.
