"Tesla has landed a massive deal to expand its charging infrastructure for heavy-duty electric trucks - and not just theirs, but all manufacturers. Tesla entered an agreement with Pilot Travel Centers, the largest operator of travel centers in the United States. Tesla's Semi Chargers, which are used to charge Class 8 electric trucks, will be responsible for providing energy to various vehicles from a variety of manufacturers."
"Tesla currently has 46 public Semi Charger sites in progress or planned across the United States, mostly positioned along major trucking routes and industrial areas. Perhaps the biggest bottleneck with owning an EV early on was charging availability, and that is no different with electric Class 8 trucks. They simply need an area to charge. Tesla is spearheading the effort to expand Semicharging availability, and the latest partnership with Pilot shows the company has allies in the program."
Tesla and Pilot Travel Centers will deploy Tesla Semi Chargers at select travel centers along I-5 and I-10, with initial sites opening later this summer in California, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. Each station will include four to eight chargers capable of delivering up to 1.2 megawatts per stall. The chargers will serve Class 8 electric trucks from various manufacturers to address charging availability on major trucking routes. Tesla currently has 46 public Semi Charger sites in progress or planned across the United States and is expanding Semi charging to enable sustainable logistics.
