Volkswagen to roll out 2,400 charging stations in US

Volkswagen’s unit Electrify America targets to install 2,800 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the United States by June 2019.

Approximately 75% of the new EV station sites will be located at workplaces in 17 of the biggest cities in the United States, while 35% will be at multi-family residential and workplace sites in California in designated low-income community areas.

According to the company, the 2,800 Level 2 charging stations will be located at approximately 500 sites, all with more than one charging station. Level 2 charging will provide for a charging speed up to 20-25 miles of driving range per hour.

This initiative is part of Electrify America’s $2 billion investment in EV infrastructure and will be operated in collaboration with EV companies SemaConnect, EV Connect, and Greenlots.
