Patrick Sullivan is the Co-Founder and CEO of EV Realty, a San Francisco-based company building grid-scale private charging hubs for commercial electric truck fleets. Drawing on 15+ years developing nearly 9 GW of renewable energy projects at firms including Clearway Energy Group, NRG Energy, and BrightSource Energy, Sullivan identified that the real barrier to fleet electrification wasn't the trucks - it was the real estate and grid access. EV Realty's 'Powered Properties' model acquires strategically located industrial sites near freight corridors, locks in large grid capacity, and offers fleets reserved or on-route DC fast charging up to 1.2 MW. The company has raised over $103 million, including a $75M growth equity commitment from NGP in September 2025, and operates or has in development five charging hubs across California.
Graham Doorley
Graham Doorley is the Founder and CEO of Terraline, a Fremont-based startup building the first clean-sheet, battery-electric Class 8 long-haul truck with 500+ miles of range. A lifelong car enthusiast with a Physics-Materials Science degree from Carnegie Mellon and a Mechatronics Masters from Stanford, he spent eight years as a senior engineer at Google X and Waymo - where he led the early self-driving truck project that became Waymo Via - before designing Tesla Model S suspension systems. In 2021, he channeled that accumulated expertise into Terraline (originally Solo AVT), assembling a team of Waymo, Tesla, BMW, Ford, Faraday Futures, and Rivian alumni to tackle freight's massive emissions problem with a truck agnostic to whether the driver is human or autonomous.
