Greenlane Plans EV Truck Charging Corridor in the US

• Greenlane reveals plans for an EV truck charging route from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that will feature several stations, with over a hundred chargers in total meant for trucks and cars for the 280-mile route.

• The charging corridor will run along Interstate 15, featuring charging stations in Baker, Barstow, and Colton in California.

• The main plaza in Colton will feature some 60 chargers, meant for fast-charging and for overnight charging.

By now there are several cross-country route options for EVs stretching from east to west, making the trip far easier than just a few years ago.

But the same is not true for electric cargo trucks, which have started arriving on the market in the past few years. We've certainly seen EV truck charging stations appear in some ports, including the port of Long Beach, but EV infrastructure exclusively for trucks doesn't quite allow companies to wander too far from their depots or from the ports.

That's bound to change in the coming years, with Greenlane revealing plans for a charging corridor from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that will be equipped with more than one hundred chargers, as well as modern amenities for drivers.

Greenlane is a joint venture created in 2023 by Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock Alternatives.

The charging corridor will run along Interstate 15, with initial charging plazas planned for Baker, Barstow, and Colton in California, linking the two major cities. An expansion is also expected in 2025, adding San Pedro to the charging route.
