Phillips 66 launches EV charging strategy in the U.S.
The company will deploy ultrafast chargers at its network of 7,000 sites across the country alongside FreeWire Technologies.
Phillips 66 announced the installation of FreeWire ultrafast electric vehicle (EV) chargers at its flagship fuel station near its headquarters in Houston, Texas. This deployment marked the debut of ultrafast EV charging at a service station in the city.
Both companies unveiled their plans earlier this year to deploy ultrafast, battery-integrated technology to meet the growing demand from EV drivers for high-speed, on-the-go charging.
“FreeWire’s charger offers consumers the fast-charging experience they’re looking for, and Phillips 66’s branded network of fueling locations places the chargers at existing, strategically located sites,” said Rod Palmer, Vice President of U.S. Marketing at Phillips 66
Phillips will leverage its network of approximately 7,000 Phillips 66, Conoco and 76 branded U.S. sites and other strategic locations to fulfil this goal.
“As charging demand continues to surge, our battery-integrated chargers offer the streamlined, shovel-ready solution that many entering the EV charging space are looking for,” added Arcady Sosinov, Founder and CEO of FreeWire.
The introduction of the EV chargers reflects the retailer's commitment to meet the world’s growing energy needs while reducing its environmental footprint. The company has focused its Emerging Energy and Sustainability business strategy on four pillars: renewable fuels, batteries, carbon capture and hydrogen.
