As fleet operators, logistics companies, and municipalities continue to electrify, demand for well-located land suited to EV charging infrastructure keeps climbing. One of the strongest opportunities on the market right now is 2403 E 223rd St in Carson — a freeway-visible, port-adjacent parcel available for lease or sale. Below, we highlight that listing alongside a handful of other Southern California sites with EV charging infrastructure or potential.
This is one of the more compelling EV charging opportunities in the South Bay right now. The site sits on Carson's established Auto Row corridor with freeway-frontage visibility, and its location just minutes from the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach makes it especially well-suited to EV truck fleets running port drayage routes — a use case where charging access near the ports is becoming a real competitive advantage.
The property is entitled for a broad range of auto-related uses, including sales, service, rental, and leasing of automobiles, RVs, trucks, and motorcycles, giving a buyer or tenant flexibility beyond EV charging alone. It also sits directly adjacent to the SCE Hinson substation, which meaningfully de-risks the power capacity question for any serious EV charging build-out — a factor that can make or break a site's timeline elsewhere. Carson's Auto Row corridor further benefits from low business license fees, adding to the site's appeal for an auto or fleet-related operator.
Available for lease or for sale, this flexibility means a buyer or tenant can structure the deal that works best for their business plan.

Beyond the Carson listing, several other Southern California sites currently offer EV charging infrastructure or potential:
A fenced, lit, and well-secured service facility with 14 truck EV charging stations already installed, plus a 20,000-gallon above-ground diesel tank for fleets still transitioning off diesel. The 10,860 SF service building sits on a concrete and paved yard, making it a turnkey option for a trucking or fleet operator that needs charging infrastructure in place from day one. Note that this site is not close to the ports, unlike the Carson listing above.
The Chino Airport Truck Yard is a large-scale trailer and EV charging facility near Chino Airport, built for fleet-scale operations. The site includes 816 trailer stalls, 40 EV charging stations, a 2,000 SF modular building, solar and battery storage components, concrete drive aisles, and a guard shack with controlled access. This site is also not close to the ports, unlike the Carson listing above.
This C-2 zoned parcel sits on La Cadena Drive with frontage on a main street and close proximity to major transportation routes, making it a strong candidate for a retail center or EV charging station. The site is close to downtown Colton amenities and services, which adds convenience for both drivers and any accompanying retail use.
This hard-corner lot at Perris Boulevard and Rider Street is currently being entitled for a gas station, EV charging, and car wash, offering a rare owner/user opportunity in the Inland Empire's east submarket. The corner location and visibility make it well suited to a fuel and charging combination use as electrification continues to expand across the region.
Southern California's push toward zero-emission fleets, combined with state and local incentives for charging infrastructure, is pushing developers and owner-users to secure land early — particularly parcels with existing power infrastructure nearby, freeway or main-street visibility, and flexible zoning that allows for charging alongside complementary uses like retail or vehicle service. Proximity to the ports is also becoming a key differentiator, since EV truck fleets running drayage routes benefit most from charging access close to the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. For operators who want to be up and running quickly, sites with charging infrastructure already installed, like the Kella Ave and Chino Airport properties, remove much of the entitlement and construction timeline, though neither is close to the ports.
What makes 2403 E 223rd St in Carson stand out?
Its combination of freeway visibility, proximity to the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach, adjacent substation power capacity, and lease-or-sale flexibility make it one of the more well-rounded EV charging opportunities currently on the market in the South Bay.
Do these properties already have EV charging stations installed?
Kella Ave and the Chino Airport Truck Yard have charging stations already built out, though neither is close to the ports. The Carson, Colton, and Perris properties are land opportunities with EV charging potential rather than existing installations.
Are these properties suitable for uses other than EV charging?
Yes. Each site allows for complementary or alternative uses — retail, auto-related services, trucking/fleet parking, or fuel sales — giving tenants and buyers flexibility if charging infrastructure isn't the sole intended use.
