Gateway Fleets is carving out a niche in the EV infrastructure space by focusing squarely on the needs of last-mile delivery operators — many of whom are struggling to electrify due to limited site control and high upfront costs. Founded in 2024, the company has developed a turnkey electrification model that offers bundled EV leases, flat-rate charging, and access to strategically located depots, all with no upfront capital required.
The company was launched to make fleet electrification practical for operators who face significant logistical and financial barriers, according to Jamie Miller, chief revenue officer at Gateway Fleets.
“We began with the idea of delivering electrification as a turnkey service that includes vehicles, charging, support, and energy, all under one roof,” Miller said. “It became clear that last-mile delivery contractors were being left behind.”
Gateway’s first depot is now operational in Southern California, with additional sites under development across other high-density delivery markets. Miller said the company is prioritizing locations near major logistics hubs and has dozens more depots in the planning stage, with permitting and utility coordination already underway.
For many fleets, off-site charging may be the only viable option. Miller noted that most contractors are unable to install infrastructure at their base locations even if they want to, citing permitting delays, utility interconnection wait times, and site control issues. Gateway’s model eliminates these barriers with fast-charging depots, vehicle readiness monitoring, and even driver amenities, all available at a fixed monthly rate.
“It’s electrification without the headache,” said Miller.
While Gateway is backed by private investment, the company actively integrates grant funding and available incentives into each depot project to ensure long-term affordability.
“These programs are built into our model to support ongoing charging relationships, not just one-time vehicle leases,” Miller said.
As the industry moves towards greater zero-emission vehicle adoption, Gateway sees its role as a stabilizing partner in a fast-changing policy environment.
“The regulatory environment is driving momentum, but it’s also creating real execution risk for operators,” Miller said. “Our job is to help them meet evolving requirements without needing to become infrastructure experts.”
Gateway Fleets plans to continue expanding its depot network across urban markets where last-mile electrification faces the greatest logistical barriers, offering a streamlined solution at the intersection of vehicles, infrastructure, and policy compliance.
