Nissan To Aid In DC Fast Charger Access

Electric vehicles are quickly gaining popularity among the driving community. Unfortunately, there are areas of the country that just don’t have the infrastructure to support the growing need for charging stations. Well, luckily Nissan, BMW, and EVgo are teaming up to supply the country with an additional 50 dual-port DC fast chargers on top of the 174 that have already been built. Each location will offer a dual 50 kW DC Fast charging station with both CHAdeMO and SAE Combo (CCS) connectors, serving owners of both Nissan LEAF and BMW i3 electric cars, as well as all EV drivers in the U.S. whose vehicles – regardless of brand – are equipped with quick-charge ports.

“Nissan continues as a leader in building accessible infrastructure to benefit Nissan LEAF drivers as well as all EV owners. Infrastructure for all is a key strategic priority for us as we continue expanding the network of dual-port quick chargers across the country,” said JeSean Hopkins, senior manager, Nissan EV Infrastructure Strategy & Business Development. “We look forward to ongoing teamwork and the continued build-out of public quick-charge stations.”

It is important to the growth of the EV market that these stations keep being built. With the support of Nissan and BMW the public will have even more charging opportunities while on the road. These stations can charge EVs from Nissan and BMW up to 80 percent in about 25-30 minutes, as compared to the longer time required to recharge at a Level 2 (240V) charger, currently the most commonly available public charging station.
