Electrify America will open its 400th electric vehicle charging station as it continues to install DC fast-charging stations across the USA.
Electrify America opened its first site in Chicopee, Massachusetts, in May 2018. Since then, the company has focused on building a ‘future proof’ network consisting almost exclusively of ultra-fast chargers.
Giovanni Palazzo, president and chief executive officer, Electrify America, said: “We are laser-focused on providing our customers with a high-quality charging experience.
“Today’s drivers need assurance that they will have access to fast and reliable charging services, and that’s what we’re working to deliver.
“We are incredibly proud of our progress to this date, and we’ll continue to build out our brand-neutral network to be able to serve even more EV drivers where they live, work, and travel.”
The DC fast chargers charge up to 350kW, allowing drivers to charge capable EVs at a rate of up to 20 miles (32km) per minute.
Electrify America has over 100 stations permitted and another 150 in various stages of design and engineering.
It also plans to install or have under development around 800 total charging stations with about 3,500 total chargers by December 2021.
