Tesla has revealed an ambitious infrastructure project called FreightHub Grid — a nationwide network of ultra-fast charging stations tailored for Tesla Semi electric trucks. The network will span more than 12,000 miles of long-haul routes from coast to coast and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.
FreightHub stations will serve up to 50 trucks simultaneously, delivering an 80% charge in just 25 minutes using the new Megawatt Charging System (MCS). Each hub integrates with local solar power generation and on-site battery storage (via Tesla Powerpack and Megapack), significantly reducing reliance on external power grids.
In its pilot phase, Tesla signed agreements with Walmart, PepsiCo, and UPS, who have begun testing the Semi under real delivery conditions. FreightHub stations will also feature digital logistics integration, allowing drivers and dispatchers to pre-book charging slots and monitor station availability in real-time.
The U.S. Department of Energy has classified FreightHub as part of the national transport decarbonization program, providing $500 million in grant funding. Experts point out that a fast and resilient charging network is essential for scaling up electric freight transport and maintaining strong supply chains.
FreightHub not only lowers shipping costs and emissions but also lays the foundation for a sustainable “green logistics” infrastructure across the U.S.
