In September 2023, The California Energy Commission awarded grant funding to Terawatt Infrastructure, Inc. (“Terawatt”) to design, construct, and make operational an electric vehicle charging station located at 4600 W Century Boulevard, Inglewood, CA 90304. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the importance and feasibility of providing an electric vehicle charging station that would support ride hail and rideshare fleets located within Los Angeles County, focusing on Los Angeles International Airport (“LAX”) and the surrounding area. The station consists of 29 direct current fast chargers, an amenities building, gated access, and security.
Commercial operation of the site, along with the official collection of electric vehicle charging data and charger performance, began on August 14, 2024. In addition to the collection data and performance assessment, this report includes lessons learned.
