Irving Oil reveals first branded electric vehicle fast chargers
Located in a new co-branded location in Rhode Island, the new equipment further expands the company’s commitment to develop sustainable solutions for drivers amidst the transition to alternative fuels.
Irving Oil has introduced its first Irving-branded electric vehicle (EV) chargers – demonstrating the company’s commitment to continue expanding its EV network under the Irving brand. The two branded ChargePoint CPE 250 chargers are located at a new Irving Oil/Rusty Lantern Market retail location in Providence, Rhode Island.
Both installations are the first of several new branded chargers to open in New England later this year. Each level 3, or direct-current fast charger (DCFC) is 62.5kW, with the ability to be paired together to charge up to 125kW. Customers can pay using the ChargePoint app or by using a ChargePoint card.
“We’ve been proud to provide the energy our customers need for nearly 100 years, and as those needs evolve, our commitment to our customers remains strong. As we expand our EV offerings, these new Irving-branded chargers symbolise the continued evolution of our business as our customers transition to zero-emissions vehicles,” said Sarah Irving, Executive Vice President and Chief Brand Officer at Irving Oil.
These new branded chargers in New England opened with support from Rhode Island Energy and the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources. The deployment of the equipment is another step in the company’s continued commitment to developing sustainable solutions now and in the future.
Irving Oil operates a growing number of chargers hosted across its retail network in New England and Quebec. Through partnerships with Tesla, NB Power, Newfoundland Hydro and others, the retail network now hosts more than 70 EV chargers in Atlantic Canada and 54 in New England.
