Tesla taps Forum Mobility for California electric-truck charging stations
Sept 17 (Reuters) - Tesla will operate public Megacharging sites at three new Forum Mobility electric-truck depots in California, the trucking-solutions company said on Thursday, as it adds 30 megawatts of charging capacity for heavy vehicles.
The new depots, which span northern and southern California, will feature Tesla's Megawatt Charging System technology alongside CCS ports, with pull-through lanes designed to keep trucks moving, Forum Mobility said.
Here are some details:
• Tesla will operate public Megacharging sites at three of the new locations — FM Francis in Ontario and FM Adeline and FM Coliseum in Oakland, Forum said.
• It said its Santa Fe site in Rancho Dominguez has commitments from fleet operators for more than 330 Tesla Semi trucks and it will also make the charging facility available to other commercial trucking customers.
• It added two MCS Megachargers to FM Harbor, its depot in the Port of Long Beach that has been operational since December 2024, the company said.
• The charging expansion comes as Tesla prepares to broaden the Semi's availability beyond North America, with a Europe launch planned next year.
