Our take
TeraWatt Infrastructure is filling the multi-trillion-dollar investment and infrastructure gap in electric vehicle charging, by transforming strategically-placed sites into EV charging stations for heavy goods vehicles. In doing so, it enables the transformative shift to all-electric transportation, providing organizations with a credible, long-term partner in this transition.
With the spotlight on heavy-duty electric vehicles growing, and funds being allocated to states investing in EV charging stations, TeraWatt has the opportunity to rapidly expand. Its growing portfolio of charging centers includes two sites acquired in 2023, now functional and supporting medium and heavy-duty fleets across California.
The company's team, that boasts expansive experience in real estate, site development, energy, and operations, is part of what has given TeraWatt Infrastructure its edge. It continues to bolster this pool of talent, investing heavily in hiring alongside the further development of its sites.
