Companies are investing in charging infrastructure to support the push for electrification in the transportation sector. Greenlane announced a major project to create a 280-mile charging corridor from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Los Angeles, California. Renewable Properties is also launching an EV fleet charging service in Vacaville, California, as part of their efforts to help companies transition their truck fleets to electric power. These projects are particularly important in California, where businesses must comply with the state’s Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation, which requires fleet operators to begin electrifying their fleets.
Greenlane’s charging sites will offer 400-kW DC fast chargers for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles and 200-kW DCFC charging options for long-duration and overnight charging. The company aims to establish a nationwide network of commercial charging infrastructure that can serve heavy-duty trucks, passenger vehicles, and hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Renewable Properties is offering a charging-as-a-service agreement for their depots, where customers pay for the kilowatt-hours used to charge their EVs.
Both Greenlane and Renewable Properties are focused on addressing the growing need for EV fleet charging infrastructure, especially in states like California with fleet electrification requirements. These projects aim to provide reliable charging solutions for medium- and heavy-duty trucking fleets, filling a crucial gap in the transition to electric power in the transportation industry.
