Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs)
This site is the first in a series planned along Interstate 15, aiming to support zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) traveling between the Los Angeles and Las Vegas metropolitan areas.
EV Charging Corridor on Interstate 15
Greenlane, a joint venture by Daimler Truck North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock, has launched its first commercial EV charging corridor along Interstate 15. With over 100 chargers and modern amenities, this corridor is designed to improve driver comfort and ensure high uptime, making freight transportation more efficient. Initial locations are in Colton, Barstow, and Baker, California, with plans to expand to Southern Nevada and San Pedro, California, within a year. This move is crucial for accelerating carbon-neutral freight transportation, meeting the growing demand for reliable EV charging infrastructure.
The Colton site, upon completion, will feature more than 60 chargers designed for heavy, medium, and light-duty ZEVs. This project marks a significant step in establishing a commercial EV charging corridor that will cater to the growing needs of the electric trucking industry.
Key Stakeholders
During the groundbreaking ceremony, key stakeholders, including leaders from Daimler Truck North America, highlighted the project’s regional importance and its potential to transform the commercial transportation landscape in the U.S.
$15 Million Grant
Coinciding with the event, Greenlane also announced the acquisition of a $15 million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), further solidifying the project’s financial backing and commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
