electric vehicles (BEVs) in southern California with customers that have the appropriate use case for the vehicles. The BEVs are supported by a network of heavy-duty electric vehicle charging stations at six Penske Truck Leasing facilities in Southern California, the first DC fast-charging stations in the United States designed specifically for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. These locations form a charging network running in the roughly 110- 120 mile corridor from San Diego in the south up through Temecula and into the Inland Empire Area east of Los Angeles.
