Colton Welcomes New Era of EV Trucking with Greenlane’s Advanced Charging Site

COLTON, California – Greenlane has officially launched its first advanced charging site in Colton, California, marking a significant step forward in supporting public commercial EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification.

Ideally situated at the intersection of Interstates 215 and 10, the state-of-the-art facility boasts over 40 high-speed chargers and a comfortable amenities lounge for truck drivers transporting goods across the region.

The company has already secured its first commercial fleet customer, Nevoya, the first zero-emissions electric trucking logistics platform in the U.S.

Greenlane’s inaugural project supports truck drivers and has amenities. Greenlane’s approach supports the supply chains and the drivers transporting vital goods throughout the region.

The Colton site is also the first of several planned for the company’s I-15 commercial EV charging corridor, with plans to expand the network with future sites set up roughly every 60 to 90 miles in Long Beach, Barstow, and Baker, CA.

Nevoya will begin operating a fleet of electric trucks out of the Colton site in early May 2025, leveraging Greenlane’s charging infrastructure and on-site office space. The two companies plan to scale the partnership to include up to 100 of Nevoya’s electric trucks, leveraging Greenlane’s charging network as part of a broader collaboration to further advance sustainable freight solutions.

Key infrastructure includes 41 chargers, which provide Class 8 commercial eletric trucks pull-through charging. 29 bobtail lanes offer optimized energy management for fleet operations.

Cutting-edge technology in Colton offers a range of driver-focused amenities, including a spacious lounge, water refill station, restrooms, free Wi-Fi, mobile device charging stations, and 24/7 customer support. There is also increased security measures.

Greenlane’s CEO, Patrick Macdonald-King, stated that the company is committed to supporting the drivers at the heart of this new industry. Speaking at this week’s ribbon cutting event, Macdonald-King said that that “By ensuring truckers have access to reliable, high-speed charging when and where they need it, our team is helping electrify the backbone of American commerce.”

The development of the Colton charging site was made possible in part by a $15 million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District under the Carl Moyer Zero-Emission Infrastructure Program.

Greenlane Infrastructure, LLC is a joint venture between Daimler Truck North America, LLC (DTNA), NextEra Energy Resources, LLC and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock.
