Greenlane wins $15-million grant to deploy commercial EV charging infrastructure in California

Greenlane, an EV charging joint venture owned by Daimler Truck, NextEra Energy Resources and investment firm BlackRock, has secured a $15-million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The grant will allow Greenlane to accelerate the development of its first commercial EV charging corridor along Interstate 15.

SCAQMD’s funding will be used for site design, engineering and charging infrastructure construction at Greenlane’s flagship charging site in Colton, near the intersection of Interstates 215 and 10 in California. The Colton site is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2024. When completed, it will include more than 60 chargers for heavy-, medium- and light-duty EVs. Some 41 charging pedestals and 53 connectors will be funded by the SCAQMD grant.

Greenlane aims to develop a network of commercial charging infrastructure locations across the US and Canada. The charging sites will also serve passenger EVs and light-duty fleet customers.

“Greenlane is clearly defining a path towards a more sustainable future not only for the transportation industry but also for residents living in San Bernardino County, who are subject to higher levels of air pollution,” said Larry McCallon, SCAQMD Governing Board Member. “Freight transportation from the goods movement corridor has been a major source of air pollution in our region.”

“By establishing corridors and deploying a nationwide network of public charging stations, we’re not only meeting the pressing demand for accessible infrastructure for commercial vehicles but also pioneering a transformative model for the future of commercial EV charging,” said Greenlane CEO Patrick Macdonald-King.
