New Heavy-Duty Charging Depot Begins Construction in Colton to Accelerate Zero-Emission Transport in the Inland Empire

Greenlane Infrastructures, LLC (Greenlane) has begun construction of their flagship electric charging depot in Colton, located in San Bernardino County. The depot will offer public access charging access for medium- and heavy-duty battery trucks as well as school buses.

On completion, this charging depot will help remove polluting diesel trucks from the road and will support the simultaneous charging of 53 trucks using 41 high-powered, high-efficiency fast chargers with 53 total charging connections. These chargers are much needed to support the rapidly growing commercial medium- and heavy-duty battery electric vehicle demand in southern California. This facility is part of Greenlane’s larger charging network along Interstate 15 with additional locations in Barstow and Baker, CA with longer term plans to span from the San Pedro Bay Port area to southern Nevada.

In addition to the truck chargers, Greenlane is deploying four electric transport refrigeration unit (eTRU) chargers to serve unique fleet needs and ten light-duty (LD) ZEV chargers to accommodate passenger car customers.

The depot is located at 1630 and 1650 Fairway Avenue in the City of Colton. Colton is a Senate Bill 535 designated environmental justice communities as well as in the highest percentile of cumulative impact communities according to CalEnviroScreen. Greenlane has plans to incorporate Megawatt Charging Stations (MCS) that can charge a truck in twenty minutes and potentially hydrogen fueling stations.

The Carl Moyer Program, administered by South Coast AQMD, is providing financial assistance of approximately $15 million. The program focuses on cleaning the air by incentivizing the replacement of older heavy-duty diesel equipment with zero-emission and alternative fuel technologies.
