Powering last-mile logistics with efficient charging | Voltera
Electrifying last-mile logistics is a job that involves keeping the EVs moving after getting them on the road for the first time. For delivery fleets operating under intense pressure to meet tight schedules, uptime is everything. That’s why charging infrastructure must be built with more than plug-in access in mind. It must match the pace, precision, and performance required in the field.
At Voltera, we understand that last-mile logistics depends on more than proximity. It depends on predictability as well. Our Lynwood charging facility in Southern California is a direct response to the operational needs of these kinds of fleets looking to scale EV adoption without compromising service levels.
Meeting the Pace of Urban Delivery
Last-mile fleets operate in dense urban environments with high delivery volumes and little to no margin for downtime. Unlike other commercial electric vehicles, these vehicles must maintain tight schedules with multiple stops per hour. Any delay, especially one related to charging, can disrupt the customer’s operations and reduce efficiency.
Voltera’s Lynwood site was developed with these challenges in mind. By offering access to high-speed, reliable charging infrastructure strategically located near major metropolitan zones, we help fleets:
- Maintain delivery SLAs without extended detours for charging
- Minimize queuing with optimized charging turnaround
- Access a purpose-built charging station, with available spaces for lease
For last-mile logistics, site speed is not just convenient; it is necessary.
Infrastructure That Works When You Do
Fleet operators transitioning to electric vehicles often find themselves slowed down by the infrastructure behind them, rather than by the EVs themselves. Many sites are not ready when fleets are, resulting in rollout delays and missed sustainability targets which can be damaging and costly to the operators.
Voltera flips that model. We build, own, and operate our sites, including Lynwood, so they are aligned with your timeline and optimized for your operational rhythms. That means no need to take on CapEx burdens, navigate permitting delays, or manage power upgrades on your own.
This matters for last-mile logistics where:
- Delivery routes and schedules demand high vehicle availability
- Downtime has a direct cost in lost productivity and service quality
- EV deployment goals are accelerating faster than infrastructure timelines
Our ready-to-operate sites give fleets like yours the ability to scale without waiting for grid upgrades or development cycles.
Designed Around the Real Demands of Fleets
At Lynwood, infrastructure is much more important than an asset, because we offer it as a primary service. Our approach is shaped by an understanding of real-world fleet operations and their unique requirements. That means everything from site location to power throughput has been designed with your vehicles, your schedules, and your business goals in mind.
Here are some key considerations that shaped Lynwood:
- Strategic access: Close to distribution hubs and dense urban delivery zones
- Fast turnaround: High-throughput capabilities to reduce idle time
- Uptime focus: Built-in operational reliability to minimize disruptions
- Service orientation: Voltera operates the site, so fleets do not have
This service-first model helps last-mile logistics operators focus on what they do best: delivering, without getting caught in the complexity and roadblocks of electrification.
A Scalable Path Forward
Many last-mile fleets have increasingly aggressive electrification goals, but they are held back by infrastructure that cannot keep up with their intentions and actions. Voltera offers a path forward that reduces risk, removes bottlenecks, and provides flexibility for future growth.
With Lynwood and other purpose-built facilities in our portfolio, we provide the infrastructure, and the management needed to support commercial fleet transition at scale today, not years from now.
