Overview.
Depots were never built for high-power charging. Grid connection upgrades vary by location and take months to years; planning, permits, and technical assessments are fragmented; and the site buildout requires upfront capex that diesel operations largely avoid. And even once chargers are in, efficient operations require new capabilities. Many fleets run small pilots, encounter infrastructure and operational frictions, and postpone scaling up. Without easier site delivery and operations, and the flexibility to transition the fleet to their own needs and timeline, operators will keep using diesel trucks.
Delta Charge provides depot electrification as a service: planning, construction, financing, and long-term management of charging infrastructure for electric trucks and vans, allowing operators to transition on their own terms and timelines. The company develops, builds, and operates charging sites through dedicated SPV structures. Fleet operators pay predictable fixed fees without financing chargers or BESS, and with the peace of mind of having electricity to power the fleet at fixed prices; keeping their fleet business predictable and not introducing any cost risk.
Why we invested.
Heavy-duty logistics is one of the hardest segments to electrify. Delta Charge’s model addresses today’s main bottlenecks: infrastructure rollout and ongoing performance, not hardware procurement. They deliberately target high-utilization depots — strategically located hub sites with durable fleet presence — where future charging demand is most likely to be sustained. Their SPV structure makes deployment financeable, and their long-term service contracts create locked-in recurring revenue.
