Zero-Emission Freight Is Coming to the SF Bay Area

Forum Mobility announced it is building two class 8 electric truck charging depots in Oakland, California, to support the growing transition to zero-emission freight in the Bay Area. The company announced the news on September 11, 2026.

FM Adeline, located at 1407 Middle Harbor Rd. at the Port of Oakland, will feature four ultra-fast MCS pull-through lanes along with four CCS bobtail charging stalls.

FM Coliseum, at 5051 Coliseum Way, will offer 16 pull-through lanes equipped with ultra-fast MCS chargers.

Both charging depots will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing trucking carriers with around-the-clock access to charging infrastructure.

Forum Mobility is also partnering with the Port of Oakland to develop the Market Acceleration Program (MAP), a new initiative designed to reduce the cost of electric trucks for carriers serving the Port.

More details about the program are expected to be announced soon.

Forum Mobility Is Building the Infrastructure for Zero-Emission Freight

Forum Mobility is building a network of charging depots and electric truck solutions designed to help freight carriers transition to zero-emission Class 8 trucks. The company develops, owns and operates heavy-duty charging infrastructure while also offering electric truck leasing and charging subscriptions, allowing carriers to combine the two services for a single monthly price.

The company’s strategy focuses on making electric trucking practical for fleets of different sizes by locating charging depots near major ports and along key drayage routes. Its charging offering includes overnight charging, 24-hour dedicated charging, daytime charging and pull-through fast charging. Subscriptions include charging access, support, maintenance, charging schedule optimization, operations and maintenance services, depot amenities and 24/7 remote monitoring.

Forum Mobility’s flagship FM Harbor depot at the Port of Long Beach demonstrates the scale of its approach. The 9 MW facility has 44 charging ports supported by 360 kW fast chargers and is designed specifically for heavy-duty freight operations.

The company is expanding that network into Northern California and other major freight markets.

Forum is also developing FM Greenville in Livermore with 84 MCS and CCS charging ports and four pull-through lanes, along with additional facilities in Ontario, Compton, North Las Vegas and other freight markets. The broader network is intended to give electric truck operators access to charging where freight operations actually take place.

A key part of Forum Mobility’s strategy is reducing the financial barriers to electric truck adoption. Through its Market Acceleration Program with the Port of Oakland, Forum is offering low-cost leases for heavy-duty electric trucks to qualifying drayage carriers. The Port received $322 million through the EPA’s Clean Ports Program, while Forum received a $40 million subgrant to purchase and deploy at least 226 heavy-duty electric vehicles.

MAP provides approximately $165,000 per truck in stackable federal incentives to drayage carriers serving the Port of Oakland at least 100 times annually. Forum manages the truck leasing and grant administration process, while its charging network provides the infrastructure needed to support the vehicles.

Forum Mobility’s approach goes beyond simply installing chargers. By combining electric truck leasing, charging infrastructure, financing and operational support, the company is targeting some of the biggest barriers facing freight operators considering electrification. Its goal is to make zero-emission trucking an operational solution rather than requiring carriers to build and manage the entire transition themselves.

The company’s network is also expanding as electric drayage moves from demonstration projects into daily freight operations. Forum recently highlighted a case involving C.H. Robinson and zero-emission carrier Nevoya, whose electric trucks operate from Forum’s FM Harbor depot. According to the case study, the trucks are completing pickups, meeting transit times and maintaining the same service standards as conventional diesel fleets.

Forum Mobility has attracted investment from companies and organizations including CBRE Investment Management, Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund, Obvious Ventures, Edison International, Overture, Homecoming Capital and Elemental Excelerator. The company is using that backing to expand heavy-duty charging infrastructure and electric truck solutions across major freight corridors.

As electric Class 8 trucks become more capable and charging infrastructure expands, Forum Mobility is positioning its network around a simple proposition for freight carriers: provide the trucks, charging and financing needed to move freight with zero tailpipe emissions while keeping the focus on reliable day-to-day operations.
