Greenlane Announces Key I-10 Charging Corridor, Powering EV Trucking with Windrose and Nevoya

On August 12, 2025, public charging infrastructure developer and operator Greenlane announced plans for its second commercial EV charging corridor, linking Southern California to Phoenix via Interstate 10. The project is backed by a new strategic partnership with Windrose Technology, a pioneering electric truck OEM that has proven the viability of long-haul electric freight through single-charge trips from Colton, in California’s Inland Empire, to Phoenix. Windrose plans to manufacture 2,000 electric trucks in 2026 and scale up to 10,000 in 2027, helping usher in a new era of zero-emission freight movement powered by Greenlane’s growing network. The I-10 corridor is one of several routes in development as Greenlane works toward a nationwide commercial EV charging network for medium- and heavy-duty fleets.

The corridor will feature the flagship Greenlane Center™ in Colton, opened in April 2025, as well as new sites in Blythe, CA, and Greater Phoenix, AZ. Windrose’s R700 Class 8 electric semi successfully completed single-charge hauls from Colton to Buckeye, AZ, near Phoenix, and to Las Vegas, with a gross combined weight rating of 74,420 pounds. The nearly 300-mile Phoenix trip with near-maximum payload marks a major milestone for electric trucking. At Colton, the R700 achieved a peak charge rate of 772 kW using dual-gun charging, showcasing Greenlane’s ability to meet freight turnaround needs.

“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.”

Through the partnership, Windrose will base several trucks at Colton to serve pilot customers along the I-10 and I-15 corridors. Nevoya, a next-generation electric trucking carrier, will be among the first operators, running battery-electric trucks supported by Colton’s 40+ high-speed chargers, 12 pull-through and 29 bobtail lanes, driver amenities, office space, and 24/7 security. Together, Greenlane, Windrose, and Nevoya are advancing reliable, high-performance electric freight across the Southwest and beyond.

Windrose Technology, a global leader in zero-emission Class 8 trucks, has been making headlines with its R700 electric semi. Designed for maximum payload and long-range capability, the R700 has successfully completed single-charge trips from Colton, CA, to Buckeye, AZ, and Las Vegas, NV, hauling up to 74,420 pounds over nearly 300 miles. With peak charging rates of 772 kW using dual-gun technology, the truck can be recharged quickly enough to keep freight schedules on track.

“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.”

Nevoya, a next-generation electric trucking carrier, is now stepping in to put the R700 to work. Known for its AI-native operations and customer-first approach, Nevoya uses a proprietary transportation management system to optimize routes, vehicle utilization, and energy efficiency. This focus on efficiency allows Nevoya to deliver cost-effective, reliable service while drastically reducing carbon emissions.

“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.”
