CALSTART Adds 64 New Sites and Features to Its Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Infrastructure Map

CALSTART’s interactive National Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Infrastructure Map now locates approximately 1,500 ports at 162 total public, semi-public, and shared electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen refueling facilities for Class 2b-8 trucks.

“This isn’t just a map of available ports; it’s a map of progress towards publicly available charging, which the industry needs to transition. The most detailed and accurate map on site features specific to trucking, it allows fleets and shippers confidence that these solutions will work with their needs,” said CALSTART’s program manager, Corridor Planning, Michael Joseph, lead author of the Phasing in U.S. Charging Infrastructure Strategy. “Fleets and shippers can also use it to shift plans to electrify sooner: They can connect with a public site developer to use their site if their own depot facilities are hampered by utility delays.”

Launched in 2024, CALSTART’s Medium- and Heavy-Duty Infrastructure Map helps truck drivers easily locate electric charging and hydrogen refueling stations from coast to coast and remains one of the leading publicly available U.S. resources for tracking key features related to truck charging; by doing so, this tool offers a more complete picture of charging availability.

“We work with the infrastructure providers to keep this map up to date,” said Jacob Richard. “Fleets need to know what charging or refueling stations are out there so that they can make informed decisions about acquiring zero-emission trucks for their fleet. We make sure that every station is quality-checked to be accessible for zero-emission trucks. Every station listed is available for fleets to use with confidence, and this is the only centralized map that truly provides that.”
