ChargePoint completes six EV fast charging corridors across Colorado
As part of the partnership between the company and the state’s Energy Office, both have doubled fast charging coverage across highways.
ChargePoint and the Colorado Energy Office announced the completion of six electric vehicle (EV) fast charging corridors, doubling the coverage of corridor DC fast charging across the state.
In total, 33 DC fast charging sites offering more than 80 charging ports are now available to EV drivers along highways across Colorado. The initiative was made possible by $10 million in state funding and more than $2 million in contributions from private and local government partners.
“This project is a testament to the leadership we're seeing across the country at a state level to accelerate the build out of a robust charging network for all EV drivers. Public-private partnerships such as our relationship with the Colorado Energy Office continue to play a critical role in building out charging infrastructure,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO at ChargePoint.
According to the Colorado Energy Office, the project has doubled the coverage of corridor DC fast charging in the state. Before the start of this project in 2019, 40% of highway corridors were within 30 miles of a fast charger. Upon completion, up to nearly 80% are within 30 miles of a fast charger.
These ChargePoint sites enable fast charging strategically located along the state’s major highways, with locations ranging from convenience stores to local visitor centers.
