CharterUP deploys Temsa TS45E electric coaches across Southern California

CharterUP has launched an electric coach program in Southern California, introducing battery-electric buses into large-scale private charter operations across the region.

The program entered service in fall 2025 and operates across multiple high-demand markets, including Anaheim, Irvine, Long Beach, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The deployment is based on the Temsa TS45E electric coach and is carried out in partnership with regional charter operators. Details of the initiative are provided in a press note released by CharterUP, where however the number of vehicles deployed and the size of the program is not specified.

CharterUP lanches electric coaches in California

CharterUP is a US-based transportation technology company active in the group and charter mobility segment. The company operates as a digital platform that connects customers with charter bus operators, while also providing centralized fleet coordination, scheduling and operational management tools. CharterUP focuses on large-scale group transportation programs for events, corporate travel, sports and high-volume shuttle operations.

In 2025, the company reported 12 million miles traveled across its network, with 6 million passengers served and 128,000 completed trips. According to figures released by the company, platform volume surpassed $2 billion during the year.

According to the company, its model combines third-party vehicle operations with a proprietary software platform used to manage routing, dispatch, fleet utilization and service performance across partner fleets.

The electric fleet deployed by CharterUP is operated during peak travel periods and across intercity and regional routes. The company states that the vehicles are used under standard commercial conditions rather than pilot or demonstration settings. Operational data collected during service include energy consumption, charging behavior, route efficiency and vehicle utilization, as outlined in the CharterUP note.

The electric coaches are managed through CharterUP’s proprietary AI-based operating system, which supports scheduling, dispatch, real-time vehicle tracking and monitoring of battery status and operational metrics. According to the company, the platform is used by operators to adjust routing, manage fleet availability and respond to service disruptions during operations.

CharterUP states that insights generated from the initial deployment will be used to inform further expansion of electric coach operations across Southern California.

“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.” said Armir Harris, CEO of CharterUP.
