- Greenlane’s initial corridor sites will be located on Interstate 15 in Colton, Barstow, and Baker, California, with additional sites to connect the corridor to Southern Nevada and San Pedro, California.
- The Colton flagship site will include 60 charging stations for heavy-, medium-, and light-duty zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs).
As the demand for efficient, reliable electric vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure grows along the nation’s freight corridors, Greenlane has announced its first commercial EV charging corridor with more than 100 chargers. These chargers are accompanied by modern amenities designed to increase driver comfort, ensure high uptime, and enhance freight efficiency. Greenlane is a joint venture between Daimler Truck North America LLC, NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, and BlackRock (through a fund managed by its Climate Infrastructure business).
The new charging corridor along Interstate 15 seeks to accelerate the rollout of carbon-neutral freight transportation, starting with charging locations in Colton, Barstow, and Baker, California. Additional locations will be added over the next year along the corridor, extending beyond Southern Nevada to San Pedro in California.
“After considering various factors, such as truck telematics data, frequent freight routes, and customer deployment strategy, the Greenlane team selected these three optimal locations for our first commercial charging corridor to accelerate the transition to zero emissions,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane.
At full build, the Colton site is planned to have over 60 chargers, including 400 kW Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) to speed up charging for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). More 200 kW DCFC charging options onsite will enable long-duration and overnight charging for heavy-duty tractors, medium-duty ZEVs, and school buses, with support for passenger car charging stalls as well.
Later project phases will support both long-duration and overnight charging lanes for tractor-trailer combinations, with future-proofing for the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) when commercially available.
Greenlane aims to develop a nationwide network of commercial charging infrastructure locations across the U.S., serving battery-electric passenger cars, light-duty fleets, and eventually providing hydrogen refueling for commercial vehicles.
Greenlane is targeting a spring groundbreaking on the Colton flagship site, with plans to open in late 2024 at the intersection of Interstates 10 and 215, offering multiple charging options for heavy-, medium-, and light-duty ZEV drivers.
