Electrify America has opened its latest large format charging station at Simon’s Fashion Valley in San Diego, California, featuring 20 Hyper-Fast chargers capable of speeds up to 350 kilowatts (kW). With easy access to multiple shopping and dining options, the charging station is part of Electrify America’s plan to meet current and future demand by opening larger format stations.
The company’s 1000th charging station joins an existing Electrify America station at Fashion Valley, increasing the availability of Hyper-Fast chargers on the property by a total of 23. While charging at Fashion Valley, guests are encouraged to use the Electrify America mobile app to track their charging session. Users can also set up notifications to alert them when their session is over so they can unplug and allow another guest to use the charger.
Customers with eligible EVs can seamlessly charge at Electrify America’s Plug&Charge-enabled network after enrolling in their vehicle’s Electrify America Premium Offer. Plug&Charge allows EV drivers to simply plug in to start a charging session, eliminating the need to reach for a wallet, smartphone or bank card.
In 2023, Electrify America doubled the number of customer charging sessions, delivering more than 10 million sessions and dispensing approximately 380 gigawatt hours of energy. To meet the demand of the ever-growing EV community and help facilitate the adoption of EVs, the company announced its goal to reach 5,000 Hyper-Fast public and commercial chargers open or constructed by the end of 2024.
