EV Realty has acquired an industrial property on Philadelphia Street in Ontario, California, for a planned heavy-duty truck charging hub with 9 megawatts of charging power. The company says it has confirmed and reserved the required grid power with Southern California Edison; construction is expected to start in 2027.
EV Realty has acquired an industrial property on Philadelphia Street in Ontario, California, for a planned heavy-duty electric-truck charging hub with 9 megawatts of charging power. The company says it worked with Southern California Edison to confirm and reserve the required grid power, while construction is expected to begin in 2027.
The site is in Ontario’s warehousing and logistics area, with access to State Route 60 and Interstate 15. EV Realty says that location could serve freight fleets traveling between the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, intermodal facilities in Los Angeles and San Bernardino, and the Inland Empire. The company describes the surrounding area as the West Coast’s largest warehousing submarket; that characterization is the company’s, rather than an independently established finding in the announcement.
The property is about three miles from Ontario International Airport, which the source describes as one of the country’s top 10 cargo airports and a base for major air-freight operations, including UPS and FedEx. The airport proximity and highway access make the site relevant to freight operators, but the announcement does not identify customers, planned charger counts, pricing, or a timetable for opening.
EV Realty says the Ontario hub is part of its Powered Properties network of fleet-charging sites. The company’s stated approach is to acquire locations near freight activity where sufficient grid power can be secured. It reported opening a separate 9 MW truck-charging depot in San Bernardino in April, and says it plans to break ground on another site near the ports in Torrance later this year. The announcement does not specify the year for either milestone.
A New Charging Site for Inland Freight
Heavy-duty trucks moving goods between ports, warehouses, rail facilities and airports need charging infrastructure that can serve fleet operations. A planned 9 MW hub in Ontario would add a charging location near several of those freight connections, potentially supporting electric trucks operating between the coastal ports and Inland Empire distribution centers.
The project also illustrates a constraint for commercial vehicle electrification: charging sites depend not only on suitable land but on access to substantial electrical capacity. EV Realty says it has reserved power with Southern California Edison, a step that the company says enables the proposed charging capacity. The announcement does not establish when the site will be energized or how much of its planned capacity will be available at opening.
EV Realty CEO Patrick Sullivan said the Ontario project would contribute to a combined 27 MW of simultaneous truck-charging capacity between the ports and the Inland Empire once the site comes online. That figure is a company projection across its sites, not a statement that all 27 MW are currently operating. The project’s eventual contribution will depend on construction and commissioning.

EV Realty’s Southern California Network
EV Realty develops high-power charging hubs aimed at heavy-duty electric-vehicle fleets. Its Powered Properties strategy centers on industrial locations near freight activity and with access to sufficient grid power. The Ontario acquisition follows the company’s reported opening of a 9 MW depot in San Bernardino and precedes its planned Torrance-area project near the ports.
The company has also recently appointed Henrik Holland as president. The source identifies Holland as a former executive at Prologis and Shell. The Ontario announcement presents the acquisition as part of a broader buildout, but provides no project budget, financing details, construction contractor, or customer commitments.
Ontario’s location links inland logistics operations with major highways, regional intermodal facilities and nearby air freight. Those connections explain the site choice described by EV Realty. They do not, by themselves, confirm which carriers will use the hub or whether its capacity will meet future fleet demand.
““Ontario sits at the convergence of the nation’s largest container gateway and the densest warehouse cluster in North America.””
— Patrick Sullivan, EV Realty CEO
Project Schedule and Customer Details
The announcement does not give a construction start date beyond expected commencement in 2027, nor does it state when the hub could begin serving trucks. It also does not disclose the project’s cost, the number or type of chargers, the site’s final layout, or whether additional permits or grid work remain.
EV Realty has not named fleet customers or provided estimates of expected utilization. The company says grid power needed for 9 MW has been confirmed and reserved with Southern California Edison, but the terms, delivery schedule and any remaining utility work are not described. The timing of the separate Torrance project and the year associated with the stated April San Bernardino opening are also not specified in the source.
Construction Targeted for 2027
The next stated milestone for the Ontario property is construction, which EV Realty expects to commence in 2027. The company has not announced a more specific schedule. Future updates would be needed to establish permitting progress, construction timing, charger deployment and an expected opening date.
Separately, EV Realty says it plans to break ground on its Torrance-area site near the ports later this year. The source does not provide a calendar year for that plan. Customers, operational details and the timing of the company’s projected 27 MW regional capacity remain to be confirmed as its projects advance.
