Daimler Trucks, NextEra, & Blackrock Form Heavy-Duty Charging Company

Medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks, like any electric vehicle, require charging infrastructure that is both accessible and effective. However, charging infrastructure for these vehicles presents a bigger challenge than that of smaller electric vehicles due to their larger size and greater power requirements.

Furthermore, the weight of these electric trucks places a greater demand on the charging infrastructure. The added weight of the vehicles can further increase charging times and decrease driving range, which requires infrastructure with higher power and faster charging times. “Greenlane is designed to begin to tackle one of the greatest hurdles to the trucking industry’s decarbonization – infrastructure,” said John O’Leary, president and chief executive officer, DTNA. “The nation’s fleets can only transform with the critical catalyst of publicly accessible charging designed to meet the needs for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

“NextEra Energy Resources is excited about the expected impact of our partnership with DTNA and BlackRock, and the critical role that Greenlane will play in the decarbonization of the commercial transportation sector and the broader U.S. economy,” said Rebecca Kujawa, president and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy Resources.
