LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- EVgo, the
nation's largest public electric vehicle (EV) fast charging
network, is working with Chevron to bring EV fast charging to
select Chevron company-owned and operated gas stations in
California.
Today, more than a dozen EVgo fast chargers – ranging from 50 kW
to 100 kW capacity – are already operational or under construction
at five Chevron stations to offer convenient charging to EV
drivers. These stations are located in Los Angeles and San
Francisco Bay Area communities in California, including Aliso Viejo, Manhattan Beach, Menlo Park, and Venice.
"We believe the future of transportation is electric, and EVgo
is helping everyone—including traditional fueling stations—take
advantage of the benefits of EV adoption," says Cathy Zoi, EVgo
CEO. "EVgo is excited to work with Chevron to bring fast-charging
to gas stations today and applauds the company's forward-thinking
efforts to serve the rapidly growing market of electric vehicle
drivers in California."
"We are excited to be working with EVgo to install electric
vehicle charging stations at select locations in California," said Alice Flesher, general manager of Chevron's
company-owned and operated network of motor fuel stations. "While
gasoline and diesel remain an important part of California's transportation energy mix, we are
always exploring how to evolve our offering, helping improve the
consumer experience and working to remain the preferred brand
choice on the West Coast."
EVgo fast chargers at the Menlo Park Chevron station (1399
Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025)
are open and operational. Additional stations are scheduled to open
over the next few months.
