Electrify America Podcast with Robert Barrosa
Electrify America is installing more rapid chargers across the United States than you can poke a stick at.
They currently have over 800 charging stations with around 3,500 individual chargers from 150 kW up to 350 kW.
They are currently installing 4 new charging stations or hubs every week. This is a seriously rapid rollout. Electrify America have developed ways to reduce strain on local grids with their installation of multiple rapid chargers.
Robert Barrosa is the Senior Director of Sales, Business Development & Marketing for Electrify America, and in this week’s episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, he explains how this is being achieved and a little bit about the history of the funding that has made much of this expansion possible.
In late 2016, the U.S. Justice Department fined VW $30 billion after the company was caught rigging two of its diesel engines to pass U.S. emissions tests.
That figure included the funding new zero-emissions vehicle technology and in particular charging networks. Quite a sensible way of using the money from a corporate fine.
