The new ChargePoint charging stations will be located along some
of California’s most travelled highways, many of which have
EV-charger congestion. Expansion of DC fast charging across the
state’s interstate highways like I-5 is much needed to connect many
of state’s largest cities, and every community in between, with
accessible, reliable charging solutions.
“ChargePoint remains committed to delivering world-class
solutions for every charging scenario, at-home and on the go,” said
Rick Wilmer, President and CEO of ChargePoint. “With the latest
awards from California, ChargePoint and its partners continue to
open NEVI-funded fast charging locations across the United States,
ensuring all EV drivers can access charging when and where they
need it via the ChargePoint mobile app.”
ChargePoint continues to be a leader in the EV charging industry
in the receipt of NEVI awards. The company, through its partners,
has been allocated almost $90 million in funding for nearly 150
sites. These sites represent around 700 fast charging ports across
21 of the U.S. states that have awarded funding to date. The NEVI
program aims to drive the development of accessible, reliable DC
fast charging solutions across U.S. highways.
Most awarded sites will feature ChargePoint Express Plus
charging stations, a modular DC fast charging platform with fast
charging speeds up to 500kW. Express Plus combines with
ChargePoint’s innovative software to charge every make and model of
electric vehicle available today. Express Plus can simultaneously
charge two vehicles at one time from the same charging station.
Express Plus uses a proprietary cooling architecture to deliver
peak charging speeds for sustained periods of time, meaning an EV
driver can charge and go without any unexpected delays.
