Windrose says 10 of its electric semi trucks are coming to Texas’ I-35 corridor

This is a trucking industry story, not a homeowner project, but it connects to the wider push toward electric transportation and charging infrastructure. Windrose, an electric truck maker, announced plans to run 10 of its electric semi trucks on the I-35 freight corridor between Dallas and Laredo, eventually continuing into Mexico. The trucks would charge at "Green Hub" stations being built along the route, each planned to include high-power chargers plus its own solar panels and battery storage so charging doesn't depend entirely on the local power grid.

The first four charging stations on the Texas side are targeted to be up and running by the end of this year, with a second phase extending the network into Mexico in 2027 and adding 25 more trucks. However, the announcement stops short of confirming that anyone has actually placed a firm order for the trucks — it's unclear which company would own them or whether this is a done deal versus an early-stage plan.

For homeowners, there's no direct action here. The relevance is mostly about seeing how solar-plus-battery charging setups are being tested for heavy vehicles on highways, a small preview of the kind of on-site power backup systems increasingly used alongside solar and battery storage in general, including at the residential scale.
