Electrify America is installing 30 solar-powered EV charging stations throughout central California. Each charging station features two charging ports.
The chargers are specifically being placed inland to provide greater access to charging infrastructure in rural parts of the state, while more than half are located in disadvantaged and low income communities, and they are all available to the public free of charge.
“Electrify America’s mission centers around increasing access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure to meet the differing needs of drivers across a diverse set of communities and lifestyles,” said Nina Huesgen, senior manager, home, and eCommerce at Electrify America. “We believe adding renewable energy to our offerings and expanding access to public charging in rural communities will help continue to spur EV adoption in the state.”

Healthcare facilities were selected as the location for two-thirds of the off-grid charging stations thanks to input from public and private stakeholders. Together, they decided that health and education institutions were the ideal locations thanks to their high traffic and long operating hours.
Electric vehicles that pull up to the stations will be served by level 2 chargers. Although they aren’t “fast-charge” ones, the 240-volt chargers are the same kind that you can plug into your dryer at home for reasonably speedy charging.
Electrify America was set up by Volkswagen as part of its Dieselgate settlement with the US government. Run independently of Volkswagen, the charging network serves most EVs, apart from Teslas.
