Tesla wants to make an EV charging route for its Semi and other electric transport trucks that would run from Fremont, California, to Laredo, Texas. The company is looking for $97 million in government funds to create the charging network, which would be the first of its kind in America.

The charging stations installed at several locations along the trucking route would feature 750-kilowatt chargers. These would help supply Tesla’s Semi and its massive batteries with the charging power needed to keep it moving through four states.

Although the plans have not been publicly discussed by the automaker, Bloomberg reports that it has seen emails sent between Tesla and the Texas Department of Transportation. In these, the automaker asks for support from federal grants as part of a new infrastructure program that aims to modernize American transit.

Tesla Seeks Nearly $100 Million In Gov’t Funds To Create California-Texas Electric Semi Charging Network

The roughly 1,800-mile (2,897 km) route would go from Fremont, California, near the automaker’s first plant, through Arizona, New Mexico, and into Texas, ending in Laredo, about 150 miles from Nuevo León, Mexico, where it is building a new factory.

Tesla already has a presence at the Laredo border crossing, and the route would likely help it shuttle parts from Mexico, to its plants in Texas, California, and maybe even Nevada. With a claimed range of 500 miles (805 km), the Laredo location would be close enough to Austin (240 miles/386 km away) that the Semi could make it without the need for another station.

It is not clear if Tesla will go ahead with the project if it does not receive government grants, though it already has support from California. All in, the project is expected to cost $121 million, with Tesla planning to fund $24 million of it, in the event that its bid for incentives is successful.

To make the charging route more attractive to the government, the automaker will install eight Tesla Semi chargers, and four chargers for other trucks at each location.
