Performance Team adds EV charging stations in California

Maersk’s Performance Team has announced the installation and operation of two new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Los Angeles County, California.

These stations will serve the current fleet of 24 EV trucks and 36 by the end of year. The Class 8 Volvo Electric trucks will be used in Southern California for short-haul warehouse and distribution center operations, according to a company’s announcement.

The new stations have been installed at Performance Team’s Santa Fe Springs, California and Commerce, California distribution centers designed to support the area’s 18 million consumer population.

The Santa Fe Springs facility went live in late summer 2022 with the capacity to charge 16 trucks at once. Performance Team said charging is performed at the warehouse, enabling trucks to stay on their normal routes with no diversion or time loss.

The Commerce Transport Center started operations in late October and supports 22 trucks onsite at Performance Team’s facility.

“These new charging stations will enable faster turn times of our electric fleet while in our distribution centers and optimise our route deployment in sustainable ways,” said Jason Walker, chief operating officer of Performance Team.

Performance Team ordered 126 Volvo VNR Electric trucks earlier this year as part of an ambitious order of 450 electric trucks.
