Greenlane is accelerating the rollout of its public charging network for commercial electric trucks, expanding beyond California into one of the most critical freight corridors in the United States. The company has announced new high-power charging sites in Dallas and Houston, strategically positioned along the busy I-45 route.
This move targets a key logistics artery where freight from the West Coast, Midwest, and U.S.-Mexico border converges. The Dallas–Houston corridor ranks among the highest-volume trucking routes in North America, making it a logical next step for scaling electric freight infrastructure.
Greenlane’s CEO, Patrick Macdonald-King, emphasized that the expansion reflects growing demand from fleets transitioning to zero-emission operations. The company’s approach focuses on deploying infrastructure where freight activity is most concentrated, ensuring charging availability aligns with real-world logistics patterns.
Built for Today’s and Tomorrow’s Electric Trucks
The upcoming Texas charging sites are designed with both current and future truck technologies in mind. Each location will include 6 to 8 pull-through charging lanes, allowing easy access for heavy-duty vehicles, along with dedicated tractor parking.
Importantly, the chargers will support both Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors used by today’s electric trucks and Megawatt Charging System (MCS) connectors expected to power next-generation models. This dual compatibility enables fleets to transition seamlessly as new vehicle platforms enter service.
High-power charging capabilities will also allow trucks to recharge during standard driver rest periods, minimizing downtime and helping fleets maintain schedules comparable to diesel operations.
Supporting Continuous Freight Operations
Beyond charging, the new sites are designed to enhance operational flexibility. Features such as overnight parking and drop-and-hook support allow fleets to run continuous relay operations along the corridor.
Industry stakeholders are already highlighting the importance of this infrastructure. According to Nevoya’s Chief Commercial Officer, John Verdon, Texas represents a critical proving ground for scaling zero-emission freight. The collaboration between infrastructure providers and fleet operators is expected to play a key role in accelerating adoption.
Building on a Growing Network
The Texas expansion builds on Greenlane’s established presence on the West Coast. Its flagship Greenlane Center in Colton, California, launched in April 2025, serves as a foundation for the broader network.
Additional sites are also in development. A new location in Blythe, California—positioned along the I-10 corridor between Los Angeles and Phoenix—is expected to open later this year. Another major project at the Port of Long Beach will support high-volume drayage operations and regional freight movement.
Smart Platform and High Reliability
All Greenlane locations operate on the company’s integrated Greenlane Edge platform. This system powers both the Greenlane Fleet Portal and Driver App, giving users the ability to reserve chargers, monitor sessions in real time, and manage billing from a centralized interface.
The platform has already demonstrated strong reliability, with the network achieving 99% uptime. Additionally, Greenlane has completed an independent SOC 2 Type 2 audit, underscoring its commitment to security and operational integrity.
Scaling Electric Freight Nationwide
As electrification gains momentum in the freight sector, infrastructure remains a critical enabler. By expanding into Texas and targeting high-traffic routes like I-45, Greenlane is positioning itself to support long-haul electric trucking at scale.
The company’s demand-driven deployment strategy, combined with future-ready charging technology, signals a broader shift toward a fully connected, nationwide electric freight network.
