USA: EVgo expands fast charger footprint across Maryland
The company has unveiled a new fast charging station as the first location funded through Maryland’s Appendix D settlement fund.
EVgo Inc. has announced the opening of a new EVgo public fast charging station located at Valley Park Commons in Hagerstown, Maryland. The new EV charging station boasts four charging stalls equipped with two 100 kW fast chargers and two 350 kW fast chargers capable of simultaneous charging.
The new site was unveiled during a ribbon cutting ceremony last Monday and featured a lineup of prominent local speakers. The EVgo network boosts more than 850 public fast charging locations and serves over 60 metropolitan areas across more than 30 states, including over 100 EVgo charging stalls across the state of Maryland.
“EV charging and retail shopping go together like peanut butter and jelly, and we know Maryland EV drivers are going to love the combination of new EVgo stations at Valley Park Commons in Hagerstown. With great partners like Mosaic Realty, Nissan, and the State of Maryland, EVgo continues to expand our network to enable more drivers to go electric, including right here at this regional shopping hotspot,” said Jonathan Levy, Chief Commercial Officer of EVgo.
Valley Park Commons is a regional shopping centre located within Hagerstown’s primary retail node. Hosted by Mosaic Realty Partners, the centre is next to the 900,000 square foot Valley Park regional mall and approximately five minutes from the intersection of I-81 and I-70, the two major thoroughfares connecting Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland.
The new Valley Park Commons charging station was primarily built in partnership with Nissan and partially funded through Maryland’s Electric Corridor Grant Program (ECGP), which was administered by The Maryland Department of the Environment and the Maryland Energy Administration.
