Greenlane Infrastructure Expands Electric Truck Charging Network into Texas

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2026--

As fleets electrify along North America’s busiest freight routes, Greenlane is expanding its nationwide public charging network for commercial electric trucks beyond California. The public charging infrastructure developer and operator is entering Texas with new high-power sites planned in Dallas and Houston along the I-45 corridor. Greenlane’s Texas expansion targets one of the most strategically significant freight regions in the country. The Dallas-Houston corridor sits at the intersection of freight moving from the West Coast, the Midwest, and across the U.S.-Mexico border, making it among the highest-volume commercial trucking routes in the nation.

“Our customers are making commitments to electrify their fleets, and they need a charging network that can grow alongside them,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. “This is the first leg of the Texas triangle, one of the more important freight arteries in the country, so bringing high-power charging there is the next logical step in building a network that serves how freight moves across America. Every site we develop is guided by a demand-driven strategy—and this is a big next step to building out the broader network.”

New locations will feature 6-8 pull-through lanes, tractor parking and charging, with chargers designed to support both combined charging system (CCS) connectors for current-generation trucks and megawatt charging system (MCS) connectors for next-generation vehicles. This dual capability allows fleets to transition smoothly and maintain operational continuity as vehicle technology evolves. The high-power output also enables electric trucks to recharge during standard driver rest periods, reducing dwell time and aligning more closely with diesel fueling expectations. Each site will also offer parking to support drop-and-hook relay operations and overnight stops, giving fleets the flexibility to run continuous freight operations along the corridor.

"Texas is where the future of zero-emission freight accelerates. It's a critical trucking market and a proving ground for any operator serious about scale," said John Verdon, Chief Commercial Officer at Nevoya. "Our launch on the I-45, catalyzed by GMA Trucking's book-and-claim program, shows what's possible when the industry collaborates effectively. Greenlane's Texas expansion gives us the infrastructure backbone to scale that model extending Nevoya's electric trucking leadership from California into Texas."

The Texas expansion builds on Greenlane’s growing West Coast network, anchored by its flagship Greenlane Center in Colton, California, which opened in April 2025. In Blythe, California, a new site is expected to open later this year, strategically positioned midway between Los Angeles and Phoenix along the I-10 corridor. At the Port of Long Beach, also expected later this year, Greenlane will support the high-volume drayage operations that move goods from one of the nation's busiest ports, as well as regional and long-haul fleets traveling broader freight routes.

Every site in Greenlane's growing network operates on the same foundation—the Greenlane Edge™ platform, which powers the Greenlane Fleet™ Portal and Greenlane Driver™ App, enabling fleet managers and drivers to reserve chargers in advance, monitor charging activity in real time, and manage billing from a single platform. That operational infrastructure has helped Greenlane achieve 99% uptime across its network and complete an independent SOC 2® Type 2 audit, verifying the security and reliability standards behind every customer interaction. As the network expands into Texas and beyond, that same operational standard travels with it.

Greenlane will unveil more details about the Texas expansion at ACT Expo 2026. The company will host a press conference on Tuesday, May 5, at 2:15 PM PT at booth #2567 and on LinkedIn Live. Attendees are invited to visit Greenlane’s booth to learn more about the company’s corridor strategy and locations.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and its Gulf allies have proposed a U.N. resolution threatening Iran with sanctions or other measures if it doesn’t halt attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, stop imposing “illegal tolls,” and disclose the placement of all mines to allow freedom of navigation.

The draft Security Council resolution, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, also demands that Iran “immediately participate in and enable” United Nations efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor in the strait for the delivery of vital aid, fertilizer and other goods.

It is the latest diplomatic effort by the U.S. and its Gulf allies after a watered-down resolution aimed at opening the strait was vetoed by China and Russia hours before Washington and Tehran announced a temporary ceasefire in early April.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a statement on Tuesday accused Iran of continuing “to hold the world’s economy hostage” by trying to close the strait, threatening to attack ships, laying sea mines, and attempting to charge tolls “for the world’s most important waterway.”

While Rubio said he looks forward to the resolution being voted on in the coming days, he told journalists later in the day that he remained uncertain if “slight adjustments” the U.S. made to the text would be enough to avoid a veto from Tehran's allies on the council. These adjustments included removing language authorizing the use of force and focusing instead on the threat of sanctions.

Whether the resolution succeeds will be “a real test" for the U.N. “as something that functions, that can solve global problems," Rubio added at the White House briefing.

U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz told reporters Monday he believes the new, narrow proposal will gain the necessary support it needs to pass the 15-member council, without triggering opposition or a veto from Iran’s allies.

The U.S. and Gulf nations proposed the new draft as the Trump administration tries to restore freedom of navigation in the strait, which carried about 20% of the world’s crude oil before the U.S. and Israel began the war on Feb. 28. A shaky ceasefire remains in effect.

The proposed resolution, which was drafted under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter and thus could be enforced militarily, threatens “effective measures that are commensurate with the gravity of the situation, including sanctions” if Iran doesn’t comply. The earlier resolution removed a Chapter 7 reference but was still vetoed.

One Security Council diplomat told AP that as in previous negotiations on Hormuz resolutions, specific language directly condemning Iran, without also reflecting U.S. and Israeli strikes, has been an issue with some members. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations.

The new draft resolution reaffirms the right of all countries to defend their vessels from attacks and provocations, and orders all other countries not to assist Iran in closing the strait or levying tolls.

The draft also “welcomes ongoing efforts to deconflict and coordinate safe and secure transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz, expresses support for ongoing efforts to seek a durable peace in the region, and encourages member states in the region to strengthen dialogue and consultations in this regard.”

The diplomat also said that the U.S. has been engaging in serious efforts to convince China to abstain from vetoing the resolution, including at the highest diplomatic levels as both countries prepare for President Donald Trump's visit next week to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
