Continuing an impressive streak of recent transactions in the e-mobility space, a team of Pillsbury lawyers led by global Renewable Energy practice co-leaders Jorge Medina and Corporate partner Ted Powers advised EV fleet charging specialist TeraWatt Infrastructure in a transaction that will provide approximately $1 billion of institutional capital to support the buildout of its fleet-focused charging centers and operations.
