DC fast charging infrastructure designed specifically for medium and heavy-duty commercial trucks. Pull-through lanes, 150kW+ power, no passenger-car compromises.
Medium and heavy-duty electric trucks are hitting the market faster than infrastructure can support. Freightliner eCascadia, Tesla Semi, Volvo VNR Electric, and Class 6-7 platforms like the Peterbilt 220EV are in production or pre-production. Yet most DC fast charging sites are still designed for passenger vehicles.
Most DCFC stations feature tight parking spaces, angled pull-in layouts, and compact power distribution. A Class 8 truck can barely fit, let alone maneuver safely for charging. Drivers must unload or reposition to access charging plugs.
Many public chargers max out at 150–250kW. A Class 8 truck with a 400+ kWh battery needs sustained, high-power charging to stay operationally viable. Low-power sites mean 2–3 hour waits instead of 45 minutes.
CCS1 (the standard for commercial EV trucks) is scarce. Tesla Supercharger networks prioritize Tesla vehicles. Other networks are fragmented. Truck operators face uncertainty about where their vehicle can charge.
Fife Charging Hub is purpose-engineered for medium and heavy-duty commercial operations. Every aspect—from lane design to power delivery to amenities—reflects how trucks actually operate.
No angled pull-in or complex maneuvering. Trucks drive straight in, park, charge, and drive straight out. Each lane is 90 feet long, 16 feet wide, and 14 feet high to accommodate Class 8 vehicles with cargo or trailers (if applicable). Lanes are separated from light-duty parking to eliminate driver stress and congestion.
Our charging system delivers sustained, high-power delivery:
All plugs are CCS1 (Combined Charging System Type 1), the North American standard for medium and heavy-duty EVs. This is the connector Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Tesla, and Volvo have standardized on. Your fleet's trucks are compatible from day one.
Truck charging lanes are physically distinct from light-duty parking and amenities. This eliminates congestion, reduces dwell times, and ensures truck operators aren't delayed by passenger vehicle traffic.
Fife Charging Hub is compatible with all major commercial EV models currently in production or pre-production for North American markets.
Vehicle specifications are drawn from publicly available manufacturer data as of April 2026 and may change. Contact the manufacturer for current specifications before making fleet-planning decisions.
Fife sits at the I-5/SR-167 interchange, directly on the primary freight corridor linking Seattle, Tacoma, and the Port of Tacoma. This location captures:
For truck operators, Fife is the natural charging point for I-5 regional transit. For Port of Tacoma and Seattle-area fleets, it's the hub for distribution network electrification.
Washington State adopted California's Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule, which requires manufacturers to progressively increase the percentage of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles sold in the state. The sales-share targets vary by vehicle class and scale annually through 2035.[A] In broad terms:
Percentages are summarized from the ACT regulation and are subject to change; consult the Washington Department of Ecology for the current regulatory schedule.
For fleet operators, this means planning charging infrastructure now. Trucks ordered in 2024–2026 will be in service for 10–15 years. Waiting until 2027 or 2031 is too late—infrastructure must exist before vehicles arrive.
Washington's Clean Fuel Standard requires fuel providers to reduce carbon intensity. This creates a compliance cost advantage for EV operators versus diesel fleets. The financial incentive is built into regulation, making EV fleet transition more profitable.
Our projected Q1 2027 opening is timed for the period when ACT sales-share requirements begin scaling meaningfully across medium- and heavy-duty classes and early ACT-compliant trucks are entering fleet operations. Early adopters can lock in operational familiarity and fleet pricing before demand spikes. Opening date is subject to permitting, construction, and utility interconnection schedule.

Yes. Fife is purpose-built for Class 8 semi trucks. Our 6 pull-through lanes are designed for vehicles up to 14 feet tall and include Class 8 trucks like the Freightliner eCascadia, Tesla Semi, and Volvo VNR Electric. With 150kW+ DCFC per port, a Class 8 truck can charge from 20–80% in 40–50 minutes.
Our pull-through lanes accommodate Class 4 through Class 8 trucks. Lanes are 90 feet long, 16 feet wide, and 14 feet high. This supports straight-through parking for single-unit trucks, Class 6-7 medium-duty vehicles, and Class 8 tractor-trailers. Light-duty vans and passenger EVs use separate charging areas.
Charging time depends on the truck's on-board charger specs and battery size. A Class 8 truck with a 400–500 kWh usable battery (e.g., a 438 kWh Freightliner eCascadia or a 6-battery Volvo VNR Electric) charging at 150 kW will typically reach 20–80% state of charge in approximately 40–50 minutes. Tesla Semi with a larger battery may take longer in absolute terms but reach the same state-of-charge window. Actual times vary by vehicle on-board charger specs, battery state of health, and thermal conditions.
Yes, 100%. All 20 charging ports at Fife use CCS1 (Combined Charging System Type 1) connectors, the North American standard for commercial EV trucks. This is the standard connector on the Freightliner eCascadia, Volvo VNR Electric, Tesla Semi, Peterbilt 220EV, Kenworth K270E, and all Class 6-8 EVs currently in production or pre-production.
