Greenlane, a joint venture of Daimler Truck, NextEra Energy, and BlackRock, announced its second commercial EV charging corridor. The route extends from Southern California to Phoenix along Interstate 10. It builds on Greenlane’s flagship Colton, California, site and will add new facilities in Blythe, California, and Greater Phoenix, Arizona.
The expansion is backed by Windrose Technology, which proved the viability of long-haul electric trucking. Windrose trucks completed single-charge hauls from Colton to Phoenix (289 miles) and Las Vegas (235 miles) with a gross weight of 74,420 pounds. At Colton, Windrose’s R700 Class 8 semi reached 772 kW of peak charging power using dual-gun technology, showing rapid turnaround capability.
Electric trucking carrier Nevoya will run Windrose trucks on pilot routes along the I-10 and I-15 corridors using Greenlane’s network. The Colton site, which opened in April 2025, features more than 40 high-speed chargers, including 12 pull-through lanes for heavy-duty vehicles, plus driver amenities and security.
Windrose plans to build 2,000 electric trucks in 2026 and expand to 10,000 in 2027. Greenlane will continue to develop more corridors nationwide to support zero-emission freight operations.
