Greenlane JV Plans EV Charging Corridor Between LA and Vegas

Greenlane, a joint venture between Daimler Truck North America LLC, NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, and BlackRock, said Wednesday it would develop its first commercial EV charging corridor along a 280-mile span between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

The new charging corridor aims to accelerate the rollout of carbon-neutral freight transportation with initial charging locations in Colton, Barstow and Baker, CA. Over the next year, further locations will be added along the corridor, extending beyond Southern Nevada and to San Pedro in California.

“The launch of this corridor not only marks a critical step in addressing the urgent need for publicly available, nationwide electric charging for commercial vehicles but will also serve as a model for the EV charging hubs of the future,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Los Angeles-based Greenlane.

At full build, the Colton site is planned to have more than 60 chargers, including 400 kW Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) to speed charging of 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. Greenlane will also deploy multiple passenger car charging stalls to support light-duty and passenger vehicles.
