Driving electric vehicle adoption

ZEVLane.com Goes Live: A Virtual Truck Stop for Electric and Hydrogen Truck Station Locations in the U.S.

As the push for a sustainable transportation future gains momentum, ZEVLane.com emerges as a first-to-market and invaluable tool for fleets transitioning to zero-emission vehicles.

“A major consideration for fleets and owner/operators exploring EV and hydrogen options is the availability of convenient electric truck charging stations and hydrogen refueling locations,” said Ollie Danner, Founder ZeroRig.com and ZEVLane.com. “We aim to make their decision-making process easier, providing public-facing stations and contract energy depots.”

As traditional truck stops modernize to integrate EV charging and hydrogen refueling options, ZEVLane.com will promptly incorporate them into its expansive database. This continuous update mechanism bolsters the platform’s mission to increase the adoption rates of medium to heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles, aligning with the nation’s objectives to transition away from ICE commercial transport.

Prominent industry names like Zeem Solutions, Park My Fleet, WattEV, HYLA, Realize, Current Trucking, TeraWatt, Electrada, NextEra Energy, and Greenlane have either already marked their presence or will be adding locations soon on the ZEV Lane platform. As the energy landscape evolves and new electric and hydrogen depots arise, they will seamlessly find their place on the platform’s search map. For-hire carriers and private fleets will incorporate stations either behind the gate or seek to partner with contract electric or hydrogen stations to meet their fleets’ duty cycle demands or set their routes with refueling at public depots or truck stops.

“One size does not fit all, and we know that visible public stations will increase the adoption rate of zero-emission transportation”, explains Ollie Danner. He goes on, “Having organized dozens of EV Ride N Drive events over the last 11 years for light duty, medium and heavy vehicles, the most common question is where public stations can be found. Even though, in the commercial trucking space, many fleets will rely on their own EV charging depots but they still will feel at ease seeing public charging stations designed for trucks and fleets only.”

ZEV Lane isn’t just about refueling. It boasts a suite of additional features to further support the transportation community:

  • Truck-as-a-Service Search Tool: Find Truck-as-a-Service companies and services like Charging-as-a-Service, truck parking, repair options, and other fleet management services.
  • Station Submission Form: Enables new station providers and developers to list their electric truck charging stations and hydrogen refueling locations, ensuring the database remains comprehensive and current.
  • Payment and Rewards: The upcoming ZEV Lane app, slated for a Q1 2024 launch, will introduce a payment gateway for EV charging and hydrogen refueling. Users can also look forward to energy, products, and service discounts and rewards via the app.
  • Compare Energy Prices: Fleets and truckers can compare kWh or kg prices at each public and contract location. Or they can contact contract providers for more information.
  • Reservation Charging: Fleets and truckers can reserve EV charging at select locations to ensure a seamless experience for either opportunity charging or contract customers.

ZEV Lane is excited to announce that Zeem Solutions and Nikola Motors have signed on as early Founding Members, directly aiding in the expansion and development of the ZEV Lane ecosystem. If you or your company are also interested in supporting our vision, please contact Ollie Danner below.
