ONTARIO, Calif. — September 17, 2026 — Heavy-duty EV charging developer EV Realty has announced the acquisition of an industrial property at 2151 E. Philadelphia Street in Ontario, California. The site will be developed into a high-power Powered Properties® charging hub dedicated to commercial electric truck fleets across the Inland Empire.
Positioned in North America’s densest warehousing and logistics submarket, the location offers direct arterial access to the SR-60 and I-15 freeways. The hub is situated to support drayage and regional freight transport connecting the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, nearby intermodal rail hubs in Los Angeles and San Bernardino, and Ontario International Airport—a major air cargo facility hosting hub operations for FedEx and UPS. For fleet operators in the Inland Empire, this means access to high-power charging in a region where grid capacity is scarce and depot electrification is a major bottleneck.

Overcoming Severe Regional Grid Constraints
Securing high-capacity power allocations remains a primary hurdle for commercial fleet electrification across Southern California. EV Realty worked directly with utility provider Southern California Edison (SCE) to confirm and reserve 9 MW of capacity for simultaneous charging at the Ontario site.
The site acquisition expands EV Realty’s footprint across Southern California’s primary freight routes, establishing a multi-depot network that offers routing flexibility for regional logistics operators.
Patrick Sullivan, CEO of EV Realty, stated:
“Ontario sits at the convergence of the nation’s largest container gateway and the densest warehouse cluster in North America. This part of Southern California is among the most important freight hubs in the world and is the epicenter of truck electrification for this country.”
“When this site comes online, EV Realty will have 27 MW of simultaneous truck charging capacity between the ports and the Inland Empire. This is how we start to see real scale – finding power in the right locations and building infrastructure to meet growing demand.”
Expanding the Powered Properties Network
The Ontario site represents the latest addition to EV Realty’s growing Powered Properties® portfolio. Construction at the 2151 E. Philadelphia Street site is scheduled to begin in 2027.
