EV charging sites aimed at commercial fleet operators are popping up at strategic locations near ports, logistics hubs and freight corridors around the country. So far, most of these are in Southern California, but now EV infrastructure developer EV Edison has announced the launch of its flagship charging and fleet services hub in Kearny, New Jersey, just minutes from the Port of Newark, the Holland Tunnel and major interstates.
This site is designed to offer EV fleet operators “a comprehensive ecosystem designed for seamless, large-scale operations.” The first phase features 15 Zerova DC fast chargers, each with two charging plugs and 180 kW of power.
EV Edison’s Kearny hub offers a variety of amenities for drivers: around-the-clock secure access, ample parking and staging areas for commercial trucks, food and beverage services, and dedicated lounge and office spaces. The site also features publicly available charging for passenger EVs.
“This facility is about more than charging—it’s about enabling next-generation logistics,” said Dr. Shihab Kuran, Executive Chairman of EV Edison. “We’re addressing the full operational needs of electrified fleets with scalable, high-power infrastructure that’s built to last.”
The new hub is already powering real-world fleet operations for Einride, a freight technology company that is deploying electric and autonomous trucks. “This facility gives us a strategic base to grow our electric fleet in the Northeast,” said Chelsea Thompson, Director of Operations at Einride. “EV Edison’s infrastructure, location and operational services make it a natural partner as we expand access to clean freight solutions.”
EV Edison invites fleet operators, vehicle lessors and logistics providers to contact the company to reserve access and explore partnership opportunities. Additional capacity and services are already in the pipeline for future phases at the Kearny site as well as new hubs across the New York metropolitan area.
