WattEV to deploy 370 Tesla Semis, launching largest electric-freight network connecting Northern and Central California

WattEV announced an award to deploy 370 Tesla Semi Class 8 electric trucks — the largest single electric-truck deployment in California — with the first 50 deliveries starting in 2026 and the full fleet operational by end-2027. More than 300 units will be deployed through a joint program with the Port of Oakland; WattEV is rolling out megawatt-class Tesla MCS chargers (≈300 miles of range in ~30 minutes) at new depots across Northern and Central California while expanding an existing Southern California network. The deal underscores Tesla Semi entering mass production and strengthens demand visibility for Tesla’s heavy-duty truck business, accelerates electrified freight infrastructure roll-out, and supports WattEV’s national expansion thesis. Market impact: positive demand signal for TSLA shares and for EV charging ecosystem participants, and a potential acceleration of diesel-to-electric fleet conversions that could influence long‑haul trucking economics and related suppliers.
