Electric truck infrastructure company plans second charging corridor
Greenlane, a company dedicated to building out electric charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure has announced the development of its second commercial electric vehicle charging corridor connecting Southern California to Phoenix via I-10.
The company said the corridor expansion is supported by a new strategic partnership with electric truck manufacturer Windrose Technology. Windrose has conducted successful single-charge journeys from Colton, next to San Bernardino in the Inland Empire, to Phoenix, Greenlane noted.
The company’s first electric truck charging corridor was announced for I-15 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Greenlane opened its flagship charging station earlier this year in Colton, California, which serves as the first of three locations that will make up the I-15 charging corridor.
"Our second corridor was strategically selected to best support the carriers and shippers who keep our economy moving,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. “Windrose's remarkable achievements during testing demonstrate that our high-performance charging network can handle the most demanding freight operations, giving us confidence that this I-10 corridor will serve as a critical backbone for zero-emission freight. By establishing charging infrastructure along key transportation arteries, we're providing the foundation fleets need to scale their electric operations.”
The corridor is one of several planned routes as the company works to develop a nationwide network of commercial EV charging for medium- and heavy-duty fleets. The second corridor includes Colton location, next to San Bernardino in the Inland Empire, as well as new sites to be developed in Blythe, California, and Greater Phoenix, Arizona.
Windrose's R700 Class 8 electric semi successfully completed single-charge journeys from Greenlane's Colton location to both Buckeye, Arizona, near Phoenix (I-10 corridor) and Las Vegas (I-15 corridor) with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 74,420 pounds.
Under a new partnership, Windrose will utilize Greenlane’s flagship location in Colton as its base of operations for several vehicles and to power its R700 electric truck for pilot customers along the I-15 and I-10 freight corridors.Greenlane
One of the first customers on these routes will be Nevoya, an electric trucking carrier focused on helping shippers and third-party logistics carriers transition to electric transportation. Nevoya plans to operate battery-electric trucks along the I-15 and I-10 corridors, with the Greenlane Center in Colton serving as a base for charging and driver support.
