Prologis Launches Power Platform to Speed EV Fleet Deployments
Prologis Mobility, a global electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure provider, is reshaping how fleet operators access heavy-duty charging. Its new prefabricated platform dramatically shortens installation timelines and supports both temporary and permanent deployment—even ahead of grid interconnection. Prologis Mobility’s prefabricated solution integrates dispensers, power cabinets and smart technology into a single skid-based unit, offering flexibility, speed and scalability for fleet electrification. A turnkey solution, it’s designed to accelerate the deployment of high-capacity charging in markets where infrastructure often lags vehicle availability.
The company will deploy the platform at its Vernon, California public charging hub, which is scheduled to open in Summer 2025.
Why It Matters:
As utilities face challenges meeting increasing electricity demands, Prologis Mobility is launching a modular platform designed for quick deployment. The platform provides a stopgap solution for companies and municipalities looking to accelerate installation when local power connection is delayed.
This builds on Prologis Mobility’s track record of innovation, including the Denker project in Torrance, Calif., one of the nation’s largest heavy-duty charging installations, powered by a microgrid in Southern California. It supports the company’s goal to deliver high-capacity EV charging solutions at scale nationwide.
- Scalable and redeployable. Prefabricated and pre-commissioned off site, Prologis Mobility’s modular charging units simplify permitting, minimize operations impacts and enable standardized installations across the network.
- No-regret electrification. Fleets can test new routes, adapt to seasonal needs or rebalance infrastructure across regions—minimizing the cost of permanent, fixed charging systems.
- Bridges the grid gap. With add-on options like linear generators and batteries, charging can begin well ahead of traditional utility interconnection timelines.
- Optimized for fleet operations. Up to 1200 kW of dynamic charging across eight ports and megawatt charging system (MCS) ready, plus advanced safety features such as accelerometer-triggered safety shutoffs and driver conveniences like onboard Wi-Fi.
One of the First Deployments: Vernon Public Charging Hub
- Located in Vernon, CA, a high-throughput logistics corridor in Los Angeles County
- Provides public access for major fleet operators and independent drivers
- Part of Prologis Mobility’s growing national heavy-duty EV charging network
