Background

Tesla Inc. (TSLA) is expanding the charging network for its heavy-duty electric trucks by partnering with Forum Mobility to operate public Megacharger sites at three new depots in California. The collaboration is part of a broader infrastructure build-out that includes reservations for more than 330 Tesla Semis.

Partnership Details

According to a statement from Forum Mobility on Thursday, Tesla will operate the public Megacharging facilities at depots in Ontario and Oakland. The specific locations are FM Francis in Ontario, and FM Adeline and FM Coliseum in Oakland.

These sites are part of four new charging depots Forum is constructing across Northern and Southern California. The depots will feature pull-through lanes equipped with both Megawatt Charging System (MCS) technology and conventional CCS chargers to serve a variety of commercial electric vehicles.

At a fourth new site in Rancho Dominguez, Forum Mobility has contracted fleet capacity for the more than 330 Tesla Semis while keeping the depot accessible to other commercial carriers. Additionally, Forum Mobility has added two Tesla MCS Megachargers to its existing FM Harbor depot at the Port of Long Beach, which has operated since December 2024.

Forum Mobility stated it now has 25 carrier customers and over 40 megawatts of CCS and MCS charging capacity either online or under construction. The company noted that its new depots are partly funded by grants and incentives from California and local agencies.

Market Implications

This expansion addresses a critical bottleneck for the adoption of electric freight: the availability of high-powered, publicly accessible charging for heavy-duty trucks. For Tesla, ensuring a robust charging network is essential to support the scaling of its Semi truck operations. Forum Mobility also plans further expansion into key logistics hubs, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Seattle/Tacoma, and Chicago, signaling growing investment in the national infrastructure for commercial fleet electrification.
