INFRA Unveils Autonomous Vehicle Giga Hubs in Los Angeles, Lays Foundation for Global Smart City Expansion
INFRA, the San Francisco–based Tech company focused on building a global infrastructure for autonomous vehicles (AVs), today announced plans to launch its first "Giga Hub" in Los Angeles—a critical milestone in the company's strategy to scale globally and drive next-generation smart city development.
Designed to integrate ultra-fast charging, automated maintenance, and AI-driven fleet coordination, the Giga Hub offers a comprehensive solution for large-scale AV operations. At its core is INFRA's proprietary Hub-to-Grid (H2G) system, enabling vehicles to charge during off-peak hours and feed electricity back to the grid when demand surges. By reducing operational costs and enhancing energy resilience, H2G lays the groundwork for a sustainable, city-friendly AV ecosystem that can be replicated worldwide.
"Launching in Los Angeles underscores our commitment to creating infrastructure that any city can adapt to meet ambitious mobility and sustainability goals," said John Gabriel, CEO of INFRA. "Our plan is to roll out Giga Hubs globally, providing a standardized platform."
By offering a ready-to-deploy framework, INFRA aims to accelerate the transition to cleaner, smarter cities everywhere. Municipalities, automakers, and technology companies stand to benefit from an end-to-end infrastructure model that scales with market demand. According to industry analysts, EV charging investments are expected to surpass $450 billion by 2030, presenting a prime opportunity for stakeholders who recognize the economic and environmental advantages of robust AV networks.
"We see this as far more than a local initiative—it's a global call to action," Gabriel added. "From Los Angeles to London, and from Singapore to Riyadh, our Giga Hubs will serve as catalysts for the widespread adoption of driverless mobility."
INFRA's announcement highlights the company's commitment to driving a new era of connected urban living, powered by seamlessly integrated AV services. Additional details on the Los Angeles Giga Hub, future site expansions, and strategic alliances will be unveiled in the coming months as INFRA advances its mission to revolutionize smart city development on a global scale.

INFRA Highlights Critical Role of Autonomous Infrastructure in the Future of Smart City Design
INFRA, a leading provider of infrastructure solutions for autonomous vehicles (AVs), today emphasized the critical role its Giga Hub network will play in the development of future smart cities. As cities increasingly adopt autonomous mobility, INFRA's infrastructure, particularly the integration of Hub-to-Grid (H2G) technology, will be essential in optimizing urban energy efficiency and supporting sustainable growth.
As smart cities evolve, the demand for electricity is expected to dramatically increase with the widespread adoption of electric autonomous vehicles. INFRA's Giga Hubs address this need through advanced Hub-to-Grid (H2G) technology, which coordinates vehicle charging with the city's electric grid in real-time. This innovative system allows autonomous vehicles to recharge during off-peak hours and even return stored energy to the grid during peak times, significantly optimizing energy usage and contributing to grid stability.
Market forecasts predict substantial growth in smart city infrastructure investments, expected to reach $3.7 trillion by 2030. Within this market, coordinated vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies are becoming integral, enabling AV fleets to function as dynamic energy storage resources. INFRA's infrastructure is designed precisely to leverage these opportunities, offering not only substantial environmental benefits but also significantly reducing energy costs for municipalities and fleet operators.
"Our vision aligns perfectly with the future of smart city design," said John Gabriel, CEO of INFRA. "Integrating AV charging infrastructure with city grids through our Giga Hubs allows us to optimize energy usage across entire cities."
INFRA's H2G technology further enhances urban energy efficiency by enabling bidirectional energy flow—vehicles can both draw power from and return energy to the grid—optimizing energy usage and grid stability. This helps cities balance renewable energy inputs and manage demand fluctuations effectively, paving the way toward more resilient and sustainable urban energy systems.
INFRA invites partnerships with municipalities, energy providers, and autonomous mobility companies dedicated to pioneering smart, sustainable urban futures.
INFRA to Launch Innovative Giga Hub Network in Los Angeles to Support Growing Autonomous Vehicle Ecosystem
INFRA, a leading infrastructure developer for autonomous vehicles (AV), today announced plans for a major expansion into Los Angeles through the establishment of an innovative network of autonomous vehicle Giga Hubs. This network aims to directly address the accelerating adoption of AV technology in one of the nation's most vibrant urban mobility markets.
Los Angeles has rapidly become a key city for autonomous vehicles, driven by growing consumer adoption and substantial investments into smart city initiatives. INFRA's strategically located Giga Hubs will offer ultra-fast EV charging, automated maintenance services, and AI-based AV management systems, providing essential infrastructure that supports the city's ambitious sustainability and smart mobility goals.
Market analysis predicts the global EV charging infrastructure market will soar from approximately $65 billion in 2023 to over $450 billion by 2030. Recognizing this trend, INFRA's Giga Hubs are designed to deliver critical services required for autonomous fleets to achieve maximum operational efficiency and minimal downtime.
"Expanding into Los Angeles is a strategic and timely move for INFRA. Our Giga Hubs represent a significant advancement" in autonomous mobility infrastructure, according to John Gabriel, CEO of INFRA.
INFRA is actively collaborating with local government officials, utility providers, and autonomous fleet operators to ensure the successful integration of the Giga Hub network within Los Angeles. Groundbreaking for the first Giga Hub is scheduled for late 2025, with operations expected to begin in 2026.
INFRA delivers essential infrastructure solutions that support the rapid expansion and efficient operation of autonomous vehicle fleets, contributing significantly to urban mobility and smart city ecosystems.
