San Diego officials are celebrating the installation of four new high-speed electricity charging stations near the Otay Mesa border crossing. They are the first chargers designed specifically for medium and heavy-duty trucks.
“This is an important commercial point, a transportation corridor hub for our region in San Diego and for the state of California,” said Miguel Romero, vice president for Energy Innovation for SDG&E. “So, with these types of fast charging investments, we hope to see a lot more conversion of the fleets as those technologies become more and more available.”
More than a million commercial trucks and 5 million passenger vehicles cross the border at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry each year, making it the busiest commercial border crossing in California. The DC chargers are the first public high-capacity chargers designed to serve medium and heavy-duty trucks.Expanding that network will be key to hitting the state’s target to have a zero-emission trucking fleet by 2045.
And switching to a zero-emission trucking fleet will help clean up San Diego’s air, especially in border and portside communities that have long suffered from diesel pollution. Barrio Logan, National city and San Ysidro are all communities that California considers among the most polluted in the state.
Vargas represents the region and has a long record of activism fighting for clean air and water in the region.
