Greenlane has made waves with the announcement of its inaugural commercial EV charging corridor, stretching 280 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Formed through a joint venture between Daimler Truck North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock, this corridor signifies a pivotal moment in the transportation industry's sustainability efforts.
Featuring over 100 chargers and modern amenities tailored for driver comfort and efficiency, the corridor is part of Greenlane's ambitious 12-point plan for green trucking. Initial charging locations in Colton, Barstow, and Baker, California, strategically placed along Interstate 15, aim to accelerate the adoption of carbon-neutral freight transportation.
With plans for expansion over the next year, including sites in Southern Nevada and San Pedro, California, Greenlane is committed to creating a nationwide network of commercial charging infrastructure. The flagship site in Colton, scheduled to commence construction this spring, will offer a range of charging options, from medium- to heavy-duty vehicles, including long-duration and overnight charging for various fleet types.
Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane, emphasized the corridor's role in addressing the urgent need for publicly available electric charging infrastructure. He highlighted the corridor's potential to serve as a model for future EV charging hubs, catering to the evolving needs of the transportation industry.
