QX Logistix has placed an order for 20 Tesla Semi electric trucks that are scheduled to begin operations in 2027, expanding the adoption of battery-electric heavy-duty vehicles in California’s freight sector.
The California-based logistics company will deploy the trucks along a dedicated freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles with its facilities in Long Beach. The route’s relatively short and predictable distances make it well suited for electric truck operations, according to charging infrastructure provider Forum Mobility.
Charging Hub to Support Fleet Deployment
Forum Mobility will provide charging infrastructure for the fleet through a dedicated charging hub to be built and operated in Rancho Dominguez, California.
The company said it will manage charging operations for QX Logistix’s Tesla Semis as part of the deployment.
The delivery schedule aligns with Tesla’s production plans for the Semi. The automaker began manufacturing the heavy-duty electric truck at its Gigafactory Nevada in April 2026 and is working to increase production capacity to fulfill commercial fleet orders.
The long-range Tesla Semi is rated for a driving range of up to 500 miles while carrying payloads of up to 45,000 pounds. Tesla has previously stated that the truck consumes approximately 1.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity per mile under those operating conditions.
Fleet Adoption Continues to Grow
Forum Mobility is also supporting several other fleet operators adopting the Tesla Semi.
Big F Transport has ordered 40 Tesla Semi trucks following operational trials. The company already uses Forum Mobility’s charging facilities for its fleet of Daimler eCascadia electric trucks at the Port of Long Beach.
NICA Container Freight Line has also committed to purchasing 20 Tesla Semi trucks, with its vehicles expected to share the Rancho Dominguez charging depot alongside QX Logistix.
Other companies expanding their Tesla Semi fleets include ArcBest, King Fio and WattEV. WattEV has placed one of the largest announced orders for the electric truck, totaling 370 units.
