Terawatt Opens Four Heavy-Duty EV Charging Depots
Terawatt Infrastructure has opened four new charging depots for autonomous and electric fleets, with two more set to go live this quarter.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Electric Vehicles
Terawatt Infrastructure opened four new heavy-duty EV charging depots in South San Francisco, Nashville, Miami and Dallas, with the South San Francisco and Nashville sites already in operation. The Miami and Dallas depots are scheduled to go live this quarter.
Why it matters
The depots add charging capacity for autonomous and commercial electric fleets across the United States, a growing need as fleet operators shift toward electric vehicles. Terawatt says it has nearly 30 depots in construction or development across 16 U.S. markets.
The four depots total 21.6 MW of capacity, with South San Francisco at 6.6 MW, Dallas at 7 MW, Nashville at 4.5 MW and Miami at 3.5 MW. Terawatt has not disclosed utilization figures or how the capacity will be split among customers.
The players
Terawatt Infrastructure
Terawatt Infrastructure is a full-stack charging platform that acquires, develops and operates purpose-built depots for autonomous vehicles, heavy-duty logistics and commercial electric fleets.
Waymo
Waymo is an autonomous driving company and a named customer of Terawatt's charging depots.
Lyft
Lyft is a ride-hailing company and a named customer of Terawatt's charging depots.
The details
Terawatt oversaw development and construction of the depots, including utility interconnection and site design, and will manage all ongoing charger operations and maintenance through its Charge Management Software and 24/7 operations system. Customers named in the announcement include Waymo and Lyft.
Timeline
November 12, 2026: Terawatt announced the four new depots, with two already in operation.
This quarter: The Miami and Dallas depots are scheduled to go live.
2027: Terawatt expects more of its sites to be up and running.
Roadmap
Terawatt's depots extend the dedicated fleet charging hub model, which large electric bus and truck operators have used, to autonomous ride-hailing and heavy-duty logistics. The approach moves charging from public stations to purpose-built sites run under contract for fleet owners.
For autonomous ride-hailing riders and commercial fleet operators, the depots mean more dedicated charging capacity near service areas in the named cities. Riders and drivers are unlikely to see direct changes to fares or vehicle availability from these openings alone.
The takeaway
Dedicated charging depots are becoming a core piece of commercial EV infrastructure, and the pace of new sites will indicate how quickly autonomous and electric fleets can scale in the United States.
