Chevron, Texaco stations to integrate ultra-fast EV chargers via FreeWire
The supplier has announced a program to equip the company’s owned and independent branded sites with its e-mobility solutions.
FreeWire Technologies announced the launch of a program to make available battery-integrated electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and solutions for Chevron’s branded stations. This will include both Chevron’s company-owned stations as well as its independently owned retailer and marketer stations.
“We are committed to investing billions in lower-carbon projects over the next 10 years and are excited to join with companies like FreeWire that develop technologies that enhance our retail offerings and can grow our Chevron and Texaco brands,” said Jesse Love, Retail Brand Experience Manager at Chevron.
The supplier’s program will provide an integrated approach by coupling battery-integrated chargers supported by energy management software with custom branding/design and analytics.
“Our charging stations are helping retail locations like Chevron’s branded stations to enhance their offering to consumers. Providing ultrafast, convenient charging at traditional fueling stations can help unlock new customer relationships with EV drivers,” added Arcady Sosinov, CEO and Founder of FreeWire.
Freewire’s fully integrated Boost Charger will allow customers to get 200 miles of range in 15 minutes. The charger plugs into existing low-voltage utility service and delivers high-power charging that typically requires extensive site improvements and grid upgrades.
