CharterUP is redefining what the next generation of group transportation looks like. In Fall 2025, the company launched a first-of-its-kind electric vehicle (EV) program in Southern California, one of the country’s most complex, high-volume mobility markets. This industry-defining program proves that zero-emission transportation can operate at scale while delivering the reliability, performance, and passenger experience customers expect.
Built in partnership with leading regional operators and powered by the Temsa TS 45E electric coach, this deployment sets a new standard for sustainable mobility within the charter industry. This program represents the largest EV-powered fleet in the private charter bus market and positions CharterUP as the national leader in electric charter bus adoption.
Electric Transportation at Real-World Scale
While much of the industry continues to trial EVs in controlled environments, CharterUP has chosen to lead through action. By deploying an electric fleet during peak travel periods across high-demand markets including Anaheim, Irvine, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara, the company validated that zero-emission coaches can perform reliably under real-world demand, generating critical data and insights needed to support the nationwide scaling of zero-emission fleets.
At the heart of this operation is CharterUP’s proprietary AI-powered operating system, the first vertical AI platform for shuttles and transportation networks, built to design, optimize, and run high‑performance transit programs. Purpose‑built to manage high‑capacity systems, the platform supports scheduling, dispatch, fleet tracking, and utilization across an entire fleet, giving operators real‑time visibility into vehicle locations, battery status, and key operational metrics.
CharterUP’s dashboards and command center tools let operators proactively adjust routing, manage fleet availability, and respond instantly to service disruptions. These live performance views help balance demand, maintain consistency during peak travel periods, and deliver service quality
“This program provides real proof of what electric fleets can do in high-demand environments. What we are building next will set a new standard for how group transportation is delivered in Southern California and the rest of the country.”
– Armir Harris, CEO, CharterUP
AI-Powered, Zero-Emission Mobility Built for Peak Demand
Throughout the deployment, CharterUP’s platform captured detailed intelligence on energy consumption, charging behavior, route efficiency, and vehicle utilization. This data transforms each trip into actionable insights, allowing continuous refinement across deployment strategies and routing efficiencies, setting the blueprint for nationwide EV adoption.
The program demonstrated real-world operating performance, confirming that a single electric vehicle is capable of supporting a full 10-hour shift, alongside charging and operational insights that inform responsible electric fleet growth across major metropolitan markets.
Building on these results, CharterUP is expanding its electric vehicle operations throughout Southern California, defining the next era of high-demand, zero-emission group travel.
