Electrify America Marks Milestone in EV Charging
Electrify America is excited to share significant updates regarding its collaboration with Simon to enhance electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Recently, the companies announced that they have surpassed 500 Hyper-Fast chargers across their network of charging stations. This milestone emphasizes their commitment to supporting the growing adoption of electric vehicles and building a more sustainable future.
Impact of the Electrify America and Simon Partnership
This collaboration has dramatically transformed the EV charging experience for drivers. Since the partnership began, they have powered over 549 million EV miles. This remarkable achievement illustrates how accessible and efficient EV charging has become for those traveling with electric vehicles.
Enhancing Charging Access at Retail Destinations
By integrating EV charging with Simon's retail properties, Electrify America is providing EV drivers with convenient charging access while they shop, dine, and enjoy entertainment options. This strategic initiative began in 2018 with the installation of chargers at Gulfport Premium Outlets and has continued to grow since then.
Key Features of the Charging Network
The network now includes over 500 individual chargers strategically located across 105 stations in multiple states. This initiative reflects a shared vision to promote a more sustainable future for transportation. Electrify America's Hyper-Fast chargers operate at speeds of up to 350 kilowatts (kW), which means compatible vehicles can recharge in as little as 20 minutes, providing immense convenience for drivers.
Recent Developments in Charging Technology
One of the notable achievements is the establishment of a large-format charging station with 20 Hyper-Fast chargers located at Simon's Fashion Valley. This location epitomizes the ideal collaboration between shopping and charging, making it easier for consumers to transition to electric vehicles. Furthermore, the Electrify America app enables EV drivers to locate chargers easily, view pricing, and initiate charging sessions, significantly enhancing user experience.
Supporting the Transition to Electric Mobility
As the largest open Hyper-Fast charging network in the U.S., Electrify America is investing over $2 billion in Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure. This investment is crucial in helping millions of Americans charge their vehicles with confidence while exploring the benefits that electric driving offers. Their goal is to create a reliable and effective network that meets the demands of electric vehicle users.
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Electrify America's plan focuses not only on expanding its infrastructure but also on supporting the increased integration of electric vehicles into daily life. Their collaboration with Simon is just one example of how partnerships can lead to innovative charging solutions that facilitate EV adoption.
