Greenlane Announces Key I-10 Charging Corridor, Powering Long-Haul Electric Pilots with Windrose and Nevoya
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Addressing a critical gap in infrastructure for electric trucking along one of America's busiest freight highways, public charging infrastructure developer and operator Greenlane is establishing its second commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging corridor connecting Southern California to Phoenix via Interstate 10. The corridor expansion is supported by a new strategic partnership with Windrose Technology, a pioneering electric truck original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which has validated the viability of long-haul electric trucking through successful single-charge journeys from Colton, next to San Bernardino in the Inland Empire, to Phoenix. Looking ahead, Windrose plans to manufacture 2,000 electric trucks in 2026 and scale up to 10,000 in 2027 globally—unlocking a new era of freight movement, powered by Greenlane's expanding public charging network. 'Our second corridor was strategically selected to best support the carriers and shippers who keep our economy moving,' said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. 'Windrose's remarkable achievements during testing demonstrate that our high-performance charging network can handle the most demanding freight operations, giving us confidence that this I-10 corridor will serve as a critical backbone for zero-emission freight. By establishing charging infrastructure along key transportation arteries, we're providing the foundation fleets need to scale their electric operations.' The corridor is one of several planned routes as the company works to develop a nationwide network of commercial EV charging for medium- and heavy-duty fleets. The second corridor includes the recently opened flagship Greenlane Center ™ in Colton, next to San Bernardino in the Inland Empire, as well as new sites to be developed in Blythe, California, and Greater Phoenix, Arizona. Windrose's R700 Class 8 electric semi successfully completed single-charge journeys from Greenlane's Colton location to both Buckeye, AZ, near Phoenix (I-10 corridor) and Las Vegas (I-15 corridor) with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 74,420 pounds. The Phoenix route represents a particularly significant milestone, as the nearly 300-mile journey with near-maximum payload demonstrates the real-world capability of electric trucks for demanding long-haul freight operations. These single-charge hauls follow successful interoperability testing at the Colton site, where the Windrose R700 Class 8 electric truck achieved a peak charge rate of 772 kW with its dual-gun charging technology, exhibiting Greenlane's ability to support rapid turnaround times essential for freight operations. 'Achieving nearly 300 miles with a GCWR of 74,420 pounds on a single charge with 12% battery left proves that electric long-haul trucking isn't just theory—it's proven real-world performance,' said Wen Han, founder and CEO of Windrose Technology. 'This is what happens when innovative vehicle platforms meet world-class charging infrastructure. Our next step is to prove diesel parity in the United States, Europe, Oceania and South America, as we have already proven in China.' Under a new strategic partnership, Windrose will utilize Greenlane's flagship center in Colton as its base of operations for several vehicles and to power its R700 electric truck for pilot customers along the I-15 and I-10 freight corridors. One of the first customers on these routes will be Nevoya, a next-generation electric trucking carrier focused on helping shippers and third-party logistics carriers transition to electric transportation. Nevoya plans to operate battery-electric trucks along the I-15 and I-10 corridors, with the Greenlane Center in Colton serving as a base for charging and driver support. 'Greenlane's I-10 charging network creates the infrastructure breakthrough that electric trucking needs—and Nevoya is positioned to capitalize on it,' said John Verdon, Chief Commercial Officer at Nevoya. 'As we launch operations on the I-10, this partnership allows us to demonstrate that long-haul electric trucking is not just possible—it's practical, scalable, and the future of freight.' In April, Greenlane opened its first flagship charging center in Colton, California, featuring more than 40 high-speed chargers, including 12 pull-through and 29 bobtail lanes for medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs), amenities such as restrooms and wifi, carports, 24/7 security, and additional offerings like office space and parking.

Some call the Sussexes' Netflix deal a demotion - but the company still sees them as a power couple
While we're all desperate to know what this new deal is really worth in dollars and pounds, one thing I can tell you for certain is that Prince Harry and Meghan want us to know they're delighted that Netflix again wanted to get a deal done. "Absolutely over the moon" is how it was described to me. But they'll also be aware of the attention it'll attract as we all try to pick apart what it means. Firstly because of that ongoing fascination in how they're making money since stepping away from royal life and losing financial support from the King, but also because of the recent reports that Netflix were intending to cut ties. Yes this is a different type of deal from their original one in 2020. Some have argued that a "first look deal" looks like a demotion from what they previously signed up to. With no real clarity on how much their original deal was worth, and no numbers being publicly thrown around this time, that is hard to judge. But talking to those who know something about these kinds of deals you do get a sense it could potentially be more lucrative than it looks on face value. With first look deals, yes there is often financial commitments from the likes of Netflix to get that first exclusive look at projects and first refusal. But there could be other significant monetary incentives for the Sussexes to sign. For example, when the Obamas signed a first look deal with Netflix, the streaming service agreed to pay the operational costs for their production company "Higher Ground". Could it be that Netflix are also now covering the costs of Archewell Productions? It's stating the obvious to say that Harry and Meghan continue to divide opinions, some wanting to watch their programmes from a place of respect and fondness, others as a reason to grumble about them. But signing on this latest dotted line shows Netflix still sees them as a power couple, who attract significant attention and are worthy of investment, whatever that really adds up to.
