Greenlane Infrastructure is expanding its public charging network for battery-electric commercial vehicles beyond California with new charging sites planned in Dallas and Houston.

The two facilities will be located along the Interstate 45 corridor, one of the busiest freight routes in the United States.

According to Greenlane, each Texas site will include between six and eight pull-through charging lanes designed for heavy-duty electric trucks, along with tractor parking and charging facilities.

The charging infrastructure will support both CCS connectors for current-generation battery-electric trucks and Megawatt Charging System (MCS) connectors intended for next-generation heavy-duty vehicles.

Greenlane said the dual charging capability is designed to support fleets transitioning to newer electric truck platforms while maintaining compatibility with existing commercial EVs already operating on US freight corridors.

The company added that the high-power charging systems are intended to allow trucks to recharge during mandatory driver rest periods, helping reduce downtime and better align charging with traditional diesel refuelling schedules.

The sites will also include overnight parking and support for drop-and-hook relay operations, enabling continuous freight movement across the region.

Greenlane described the Texas deployment as the first phase of its strategy for the so-called Texas Triangle freight region, a major logistics network linking Texas cities with freight traffic from the West Coast, the Midwest, and the US-Mexico border.

“Our customers are making commitments to electrify their fleets, and they need a charging network that can grow alongside them,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, chief executive 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,” he added.

Electric freight carrier Nevoya also announced plans to operate along the Texas corridor under a multi-year agreement using Greenlane’s charging network.

“Texas is where the future of zero-emission freight accelerates,” said John Verdon, chief commercial officer at Nevoya.

“Greenlane’s Texas expansion gives us the infrastructure backbone to scale that model extending Nevoya’s electric trucking leadership from California into Texas,” Verdon added.

The Texas rollout expands Greenlane’s broader electric truck charging network in the western United States.

The company opened its flagship Greenlane Center facility in April 2025 in Colton.

Additional charging hubs are expected to open later this year in Blythe along the Interstate 10 corridor between Los Angeles and Phoenix, as well as at the Port of Long Beach to support drayage and regional freight operations.
