Commercial EV Charging Networks

The Greenlane joint venture, backed by BlackRock, Daimler Truck, and NextEra Energy with a total capitalization of USD 675 million, focuses on developing and operating public charging infrastructure tailored to medium- and heavy-duty electric freight vehicles. The company has launched its second commercial charging corridor along Interstate 10, connecting its Colton, California, flagship center to Phoenix, Arizona. This route addresses one of the busiest freight arteries in the United States and provides high-power charging access designed to support long-haul electric trucking operations at scale.

Greenlane’s expansion coincides with a strategic partnership with Windrose Technology, an original equipment manufacturer of Class 8 electric trucks. Windrose has completed demonstration runs covering nearly 300 miles on a single charge with gross combined weight ratings up to 74 420 lb, using Greenlane’s dual-gun, 772 kW charging stalls at the Colton site. The Colton facility, opened in April 2025, features over 40 high-speed chargers, 12 pull-through bays, dedicated bobtail lanes, and driver amenities such as restrooms and Wi-Fi. BlackRock further supports the transition through its Sustainable Energy Fund and specialized iShares ETFs, which provide investor access to companies across the electric vehicle and charging infrastructure value chain.
