Daimler Invests in EV Charging Network and Launches New Electric Truck Brand.
Daimler, NextEra Energy Resources, and a BlackRock investment fund are partnering to create Greenlane, a $650 million charging network for medium- and heavy-duty commercial EVs. The first site will be in Southern California, with plans to build out along critical freight routes on the East and West Coasts, as well as in Texas. Greenlane will eventually add chargers for passenger EVs. The network aims to address the unique demands of the industry and support mutual customers, while providing a dual benefit to all electric vehicle drivers.
