Greenlane awarded $15 million grant for charging from South Coast Air Quality Management District

Sept. 11, 2024
Greenlane received grant funding for its initial Colton charging site, with the money going towards charging pedestals, connectors, site design, and engineering and charging infrastructure development.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), under the Carl Moyer Zero-Emission Infrastructure Program, has awarded Greenlane a $15 million grant to develop its Colton charging site. Greenlane, a joint venture between Daimler Truck North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock will use the grant to develop its commercial EV charging corridor along Interstate 15.

“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 and, eventually, hydrogen refueling,” said Greenlane CEO Patrick Macdonald-King.

The project will be located at the intersection of Interstates 2015 and 10 in California, specifically at the company’s Colton charging site. Greenlane broke ground at the flagship Colton site on Sept. 9, 2024, which will feature over 60 chargers for heavy-, medium-, and light-duty zero-emissions vehicles. The $15 million grant will fund 41 of these charging pedestals and 53 connectors.

The money will also go toward the Colton location’s site design, as well as engineering and charging infrastructure build-out, all of which will speed the location’s development timeline. Greenlane stated that it is hoping to commission the Colton site by the end of 2024.

The company aims to build on the Colton location with a nationwide network of commercial charging infrastructure, with sites able to charge battery-electric passenger cars and light-duty fleet vehicles, and eventually refuel hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles.
