How EV Realty Chooses Strategic Real Estate for Electric Truck Charging Hubs

EV Realty builds and operates heavy-duty electric vehicle charging hubs tailored specifically for fleet customers, whose predictable routes and fixed schedules demand reliable charging infrastructure. Founded in 2022 to provide turnkey charging solutions, the company focuses on acquiring, developing, and operating grid-ready properties. Because prime real estate near major logistics hubs is scarce and expensive, EV Realty targets locations where it can secure power within an acceptable timeframe and cost.

In April 2026, EV Realty opened its first Powered Property in San Bernardino, California, an area serving around 17,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks. This hub features 76 high-power charging ports and 9 MW of total power capacity, designed to serve over 200 trucks per day. It utilizes Kempower hardware delivering up to 500 kW with CCS and up to 1.2 MW with MCS (Megawatt Charging System), alongside Synop fleet management software for reservations and cost reporting. Amenities and support are available 24/7. Announced customers for the facility include national carrier J.B. Hunt Transport, beverage distributor Gate City Beverage, and electric carrier Nevoya. In September 2026, EV Realty expanded its footprint by acquiring a new site in Ontario, California, with construction slated to begin in 2027.

Henrik Holland, President of EV Realty and a 23-year energy industry veteran whose past experience includes roles at Shell, Greenlots, and Prologis, detailed the company’s approach in an interview with Charged. Holland emphasized that real estate acts as the foundational base of the charging stack—outranking hardware, energy supply, and software in terms of long-term scarcity and value. EV Realty relies on a proprietary site selection platform called Compass, which integrates a wide array of data including utility metrics and grid bottlenecks.

Addressing emerging technologies, Holland noted that the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is actively deployed and plays a vital role in heavy-duty applications due to massive battery capacities. Conversely, he expressed more skepticism regarding vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tech for freight trucks in the near term, explaining that commercial trucks need to remain in motion to generate revenue, making stationary storage systems a more logical choice for grid stabilization compared to active fleet trucks.
