COLTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 24, 2025--
To support public commercial EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification, Greenlane has opened its inaugural advanced charging site in Colton, California, and secured its first commercial fleet customer, Nevoya, the first zero-emissions electric trucking carrier and technology-driven logistics platform in the U.S. The flagship facility, located at the intersection of Interstates 215 and 10, was completed just eight months after breaking ground, thanks to effective collaboration between public and private sector partners. It features over 40 high-speed chargers and a comfortable amenities lounge to accommodate truck drivers transporting vital goods throughout the region. The site is the first of several planned for the company’s I-15 commercial EV charging corridor. Greenlane plans to expand its network with future sites expected roughly every 60 to 90 miles in Long Beach, Barstow, and Baker, CA, pending site viability assessments and evolving needs.

As Greenlane’s first commercial fleet customer, Nevoya will begin operating a fleet of electric trucks out of the Colton site in early May 2025, utilizing charging infrastructure and on-site office space. The two companies plan to scale the partnership to include up to 100 of Nevoya’s electric trucks, leveraging Greenlane’s charging network as part of a broader collaboration to further advance sustainable freight solutions.
"At Nevoya, we’re committed to driving maximal efficiency and ease for our fleet and drivers, making Greenlane a natural partner as they lead the way for a national network of ZEV fleet refueling infrastructure,” said Sami Khan, co-founder and CEO of Nevoya. “We are honored to be the first to establish operations at the Colton site and excited to join forces with Greenlane to make switching to electric trucks scalable, cost-effective, and inevitable. Together, we have an opportunity to make strides in electrifying America’s supply chains.”
Cutting-edge infrastructure and technology were used at the Colton site to support the critical freight route along I-15, including 41 OEM-agnostic chargers with 12 pull-through lanes featuring CCS 400 kilowatt (kW) dual-port chargers with liquid-cooled cables designed to accommodate large Class 8 electric trucks. In addition, 29 bobtail lanes feature CCS 180 kW chargers, offering intelligent energy management for optimized fleet operations. The site is also engineered with precast cable trenching, allowing for future equipment expansion and upgrades to megawatt charging as fleet demand grows.
In addition to charging technology, Colton offers a range of driver-focused amenities, including a spacious lounge with food and beverage options, a water refill station, and restrooms. The facility provides free Wi-Fi, mobile device charging stations, and 24/7 customer support. Additional security measures include round-the-clock on-site attendants, security cameras, gated access, and enhanced lighting. To further support the broader transportation industry, the site also provides the ability to lease office space and truck and trailer parking, offering fleets a safe and convenient place to work and park overnight.
"America’s trucking industry keeps our economy moving, and we are committed to supporting the drivers at the heart of it,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. “Opening the Colton site and bringing on a top-tier partner like Nevoya in the same week is awesome, but it also reinforces that investment in high-traffic freight corridors helps drive economic growth by supporting local businesses through increased traffic and creating quality job opportunities for municipalities that have sought this growth for years. By ensuring truckers have access to reliable, high-speed charging when and where they need it, our team is helping electrify the backbone of American commerce.”
Earlier today, a ribbon cutting took place to commemorate the official opening of the Colton location. The ceremony included speeches from Greenlane’s CEO, Patrick Macdonald-King; City of Colton Mayor Frank J. Navarro; South Coast Air Quality Management District Board representative and Mayor of Highland, Larry McCallon; Daimler Truck North America’s Vice President and Chief of eMobility, Rakesh Aneja; and Nevoya’s Chief Commercial Officer, John Verdon.
The development of the Colton charging site was made possible in part by a $15 million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District under the Carl Moyer Zero-Emission Infrastructure Program.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal agents carrying out immigration arrests in Minnesota's Twin Cities region already shaken by the fatal shooting of a woman rammed the door of one home Sunday and pushed their way inside, part of what the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest enforcement operation ever.
In a dramatic scene similar to those playing out across Minneapolis, agents captured a man in the home just minutes after pepper spraying protesters outside who had confronted the heavily-armed federal agents. Along the residential street, protesters honked car horns, banged on drums and blew whistles in attempts to disrupt the operation.
Video of the clash showed some agents pushing back protesters while a distraught woman later emerged from the house with a document that federal agents presented to arrest the man. Signed by an immigration officer, the document — unlike a warrant signed by a judge — does not authorize forced entry into a private residence. A warrant signed by an immigration officer only authorizes arrest in a public area.
Immigrant advocacy groups have done extensive “know-your-rights” campaigns urging people not to open their doors unless agents have a court order signed by a judge.
But within minutes of ramming the door in a neighborhood filled with single-family homes, the handcuffed man was led away and soon gone.
More than 2,000 immigration arrests have been made in Minnesota since the enforcement operation began at the beginning of December, said Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.
The Twin Cities — the latest target in President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement campaign — is bracing for what is next after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by an immigration officer Wednesday.
“We’re seeing a lot of immigration enforcement across Minneapolis and across the state, federal agents just swarming around our neighborhoods,” said Jason Chavez, a Minneapolis city councilmember. “They’ve definitely been out here.”
Chavez, the son of Mexican immigrants who represents an area with a growing immigrant population, said he is closely monitoring information from chat groups about where residents are seeing agents operating.
People holding whistles positioned themselves in freezing temperatures on street corners Sunday in the neighborhood where Good was killed, watching for any signs of federal agents.
More than 20,000 people have taken part in a variety of trainings to become “observers” of enforcement activities in Minnesota since the 2024 election, said Luis Argueta, a spokesperson for Unidos MN, a local human rights organization .
“It’s a role that people choose to take on voluntarily, because they choose to look out for their neighbors,” Argueta said.
The protests have been largely peaceful, but residents remained anxious. On Monday, Minneapolis public schools will start offering remote learning for the next month in response to concerns that children might feel unsafe venturing out while tensions remain high.
Many schools closed last week after Good’s shooting and the upheaval that followed.
While the enforcement activity continues, two of the state’s leading Democrats said that the investigation into Good's shooting death should not be overseen solely by the federal government.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and U.S. Sen. Tina Smith said in separate interviews Sunday that state authorities should be included in the investigation because the federal government has already made clear what it believes happened.
“How can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiased investigation, without prejudice, when at the beginning of that investigation they have already announced exactly what they saw — what they think happened," Smith said on ABC’s "This Week."
The Trump administration has defended the officer who shot Good in her car, saying he was protecting himself and fellow agents and that Good had “weaponized” her vehicle.
Todd Lyons, acting director of ICE, defended the officer on Fox News Channel’s “The Sunday Briefing.”
"That law enforcement officer had milliseconds, if not short time to make a decision to save his life and his other fellow agents,” he said.
Lyons also said the administration’s enforcement operations in Minnesota wouldn't be needed “if local jurisdictions worked with us to turn over these criminally illegal aliens once they are already considered a public safety threat by the locals.”
The killing of Good by an ICE officer and the shooting of two people by federal agents in Portland, Oregon, led to dozens of protests across the country over the weekend.
Thousands of people marched Saturday in Minneapolis, where Homeland Security called its deployment of immigration officers in the Twin Cities its biggest ever immigration enforcement operation.
