To address the total cost of ownership (TCO) gap between electric and diesel trucks, Windrose Technology will offer 3 months of unlimited charging on Greenlane Infrastructure’s network for each qualifying Windrose Global E700 Class 8 electric truck purchased. Windrose has also negotiated preferred rates for its customers to use Greenlane’s network for pilot programs, helping fleets experience fast, reliable charging without upfront infrastructure investment. The incentive helps lower the barrier to fleet electrification while providing immediate access to Greenlane’s high-performance charging network and technology ecosystem, enabling a seamless transition to electric freight.
“We’re committed to making electric trucking accessible and cost-competitive for fleets,” said Wen Han, founder and CEO of Windrose Technology. “But vehicles are only half the equation. Charging infrastructure for electric trucks is just like a high-speed cellular network is to the smartphone. Accessible high-power, high-quality, and strategically-placed charging infrastructure by Greenlane is what enables fleets to deploy at scale and at lower costs.”
Windrose customers will be able to activate their Greenlane charging credit through this dedicated portal. Once onboarded, fleets gain immediate access to Greenlane’s high-power chargers and Greenlane Edge™ subscription service with advanced reservation tools, fleet management capabilities, and a 24/7 support network – all covered by Windrose. The charging credit will be redeemable across Greenlane’s charging stations on key freight routes, including the I-10 and I-15 corridors, offering fleets convenient access to reliable medium- and heavy-duty (MDHD) charging from the start without the complexities of new site development or utility interconnection.
“Total cost of entry is the biggest decision factor for fleet operators when they are thinking about electrification,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. “Windrose’s offer to integrate charging infrastructure directly into the vehicle purchase eliminates some of the guesswork and upfront costs that have historically slowed adoption. This partnership is about giving fleet operators a complete, ready-to-deploy solution on day one.”
The collaboration builds on the two companies’ proven interoperability, recently validated through Windrose’s successful long-haul pilot runs on the I-10 freight corridor between Greenlane’s charging hub in Colton, Calif., and Phoenix, Ariz., as well as on the I-15 corridor to Las Vegas.
During testing, the Windrose Global E700 achieved a 772 kW peak charging rate and over 400 miles of range on a single charge while carrying a near-maximum payload of around 74,000 pounds. Critically, the Global E700 completed each route on a single charge, proving that with Greenlane’s upcoming charging sites in Phoenix and Las Vegas, both the I-10 and I-15 corridors can support fully operational electric freight.
This new complimentary charging offer is now active and available to qualified U.S. customers who purchase the Windrose Global E700. To learn more about the offering, visit www.windrose.tech.
