Electrify America has more than 589 charging stations across the U.S., with over 2,500 individual DC fast chargers. Since May 2018, the Volkswagen Group company has rapidly expanded, opening an average of four new stations each week. By the end of 2021, Electrify America plans to install or have under development approximately 800 total charging stations with about 3,500 DC fast chargers.
Recently, the charging network introduced 30 solar-powered EV charging stations to its network in the State of California. The locations of the chargers were chosen after the company analyzed communities with the greatest need for charging, existing charging options, and local travel patterns – among other factors.
The off-grid Level 2 (240-volt) chargers are strategically located throughout the Central Valley and inland areas of Southern California in 24 cities. Electrify America identifies more than half the chargers as being in disadvantaged and low-income communities.
Additionally, Jeep has announced a partnership with the charging company to install solar-powered charging stations in places that their audience frequents. Tthe Level 2 charging stations will be at installed Jeep Badge of Honor off-road trailheads around the United States over the next 12 months.
