Greenlane, a provider of public charging infrastructure for commercial vehicles, has launched a new dealer program to help reduce costs and make electrification more attractive for fleet customers. The new Charge On Us program includes $500 in charging credits and six months of complimentary Greenlane Edge subscription access for every qualifying electric truck sold. Velocity Truck Centers, a North American commercial vehicle dealer, is the first partner to sign up for the program.

Dealers participating in the program benefit from sales support, marketing resources and customer service, as well as access to Greenlane’s public charging network. Dealerships receive a number of subscriptions to the network, which enables them to run pilots out of Greenlane facilities. The Greenlane Edge subscription gives access to discounted charging rates, reservation tools and a software ecosystem designed to streamline billing and electric freight operations.

In April, Greenlane opened its flagship Greenlane Center in Colton, California, featuring more than 40 high-speed chargers, including 12 pull-through and 29 bobtail lanes for medium- and heavy-duty EVs, amenities such as restrooms and WiFi, carports, 24/7 security, and available office space. The Colton site, located at the intersection of I-215 and I-10, is part of Greenlane’s I-15 charging corridor from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and I-10 corridor, which will include new sites to be developed in Blythe, California, and Greater Phoenix.

“One of the biggest challenges our customers face when considering electric trucks is figuring out charging—where to charge, how to support it, and how to pay for it,” said Scott Zeppenfeldt, COO of Velocity Truck Centers. “Greenlane’s Charge On Us program removes those hurdles by letting our customers rely on public infrastructure instead of investing time and money in their own charging setup. We’re excited to run pilot programs out of their flagship Colton facility and other sites on their network, which gives us a real-world proving ground to show customers how straightforward electric can be when the charging piece is handled.”
