Company Overview
TeraWatt Infrastructure
San Francisco, CA, United States
2018
Employee count is not publicly specified, but the company is scaling its team to support charging center buildouts following major funding (source: terawattinfrastructure.com). No revenue figures are disclosed as it remains private.
What They Do
TeraWatt Infrastructure focuses on developing, owning, financing, and operating high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure specifically designed for medium- and heavy-duty commercial fleets, including trucks and autonomous vehicles. Unlike many competitors, TeraWatt does not target light-duty consumer cars, which allows them to concentrate on the unique needs of commercial fleet operators (source: equityzen.com). Their offerings include proprietary site selection using a comprehensive database to identify strategic locations such as highway exits and logistics hubs, as well as the development of "Charging Centers" equipped with reservable high-power chargers capable of handling simultaneous fleet charging. This requires significant upgrades to the electrical grid to support the high demand (source: onyxnewsroom.com). TeraWatt's target markets include U.S. commercial fleet operators electrifying large trucks, autonomous vehicle developers, and logistics companies, particularly along key freight corridors like the route from LA/Long Beach to Phoenix (source: design-sprint.com). Their competitive edge lies in their real estate-first strategy, which has allowed them to acquire properties across 18 states ahead of the electrification boom, combined with their end-to-end capabilities in property ownership, project development, energy management, and financing (source: keyframecapital.com).
Projects & Track Record
TeraWatt has made significant strides in establishing its presence in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure sector. One of their notable projects includes a heavy-duty charging site that opened on I-10 in Rialto, California, in November 2025, which operates on renewable energy and serves as one of the company's first operational hubs for fleet charging (source: equityzen.com). The company has strategically acquired properties across 18 states, focusing on key U.S. logistics routes for future development into charging centers, although specific capacities or additional project names have not been publicly detailed (source: keyframecapital.com). Current projects involve national buildouts supported by over $1 billion in committed capital, with a focus on expanding charging centers in high-freight areas such as California, Arizona, New Mexico, and the East Coast (source: onyxnewsroom.com). TeraWatt has also formed key partnerships with early autonomous vehicle firms and strategic alliances like Windrose for high-power charging demonstrations, showcasing their commitment to addressing the electrification needs of the trucking industry (source: equityzen.com).
Recent Developments
In 2023, TeraWatt achieved a significant funding milestone by securing over $1 billion in institutional capital from Vision Ridge Partners, alongside increased commitments from Keyframe Capital and Cyrus Capital, aimed at accelerating the buildout of charging centers and expanding their team (source: terawattinfrastructure.com). The company opened its heavy-duty charging site on I-10 in Rialto, California, in November 2025, marking a key operational achievement (source: equityzen.com). In October 2025, TeraWatt released data demonstrating the feasibility of truck electrification on I-10, addressing long-haul concerns and showcasing their commitment to advancing the industry (source: equityzen.com). Additionally, in June 2025, they strengthened their partnership with Windrose through high-power charging demonstrations and software integration, further enhancing their service offerings (source: equityzen.com). A December 2025 announcement highlighted another EV charging hub in California that operates on renewable energy, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability (source: equityzen.com).

TeraWatt is actively hiring across various roles, including real estate development, construction, data centers, clean energy, mobility operations, finance, engineering, and product development. The company has attracted talent from notable backgrounds, such as CEO Neha Palmer, who previously led energy strategy at Google, and other executives with experience from companies like Uber and Apple (source: terawattinfrastructure.com). Most hiring occurs at their San Francisco headquarters, with distributed teams supporting projects across U.S. time zones (source: onyxnewsroom.com). The company culture is characterized by a diverse and inclusive environment that fosters collaboration and innovation, driven by a shared passion for reducing emissions and scaling infrastructure (source: terawattinfrastructure.com). While specific employee benefits are not publicly documented, the emphasis on rapid execution and openness to innovation is evident in their approach to project development (source: design-sprint.com).
