Charge your electric semi fleet at a lower cost, without the grid upgrade

Freight, drayage, and logistics fleets are going electric in growing numbers, but accessing the high-power charging needed to keep trucks moving remains one of the biggest challenges. Utility upgrades can take years, cost millions, and delay fleet electrification.

L-Charge delivers reliable, MCS-compatible, megawatt-scale charging powered by on-site microgrids, deployed in weeks instead of years. No grid upgrades, utility delays, upfront infrastructure investment, or demand charges.

EV Charging Challenges for Electric Semi Fleets

Buying a megawatt charger does not give your site a megawatt of power. Fleets increasingly have options for the charger itself, but the harder question is what stands behind it. Utility interconnection for a megawatt of new load routinely takes years, not months, and a charger sitting on a lot with no power source behind it cannot charge a single vehicle.

  1. Utility timelines

    Grid upgrades for high-power fleet charging can take up to 3 years and result in vehicles sitting idle.

  2. Upfront capital

    Investing in permanent charging infrastructure comes with a high cost and requires trenching and construction.

  3. Deployment risk

    Trucks on order through incentive programs create a fixed clock. Charging readiness should not be the reason fleets can’t cash in truck incentives.

  4. Demand charges

    Semi truck charging can incur expensive demand charges, adding a significant hidden cost to your electric bill.

  5. Site constraints

    Leased depots add landlord approvals and site limits that can stop you from installing permanent EV charging on site.

High Uptime, Lower Costs

Engineered for fleets that can’t afford downtime, unlike a basic generator setup.

98%average uptime with built-in resiliency
ReadyBattery storage keeps chargers ready the moment a vehicle arrives
ResilientParallel architecture so charging continues if one unit goes offline

The L-Charge system supplements generation with stored energy, preventing generators from running at inefficient load profiles and using fuel more economically than unoptimized generators, which can result in up to 50% lower fuel costs and emissions.

Charge on your terms, at your site.
