EVgo, one of the nation’s largest providers of public fast charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs), and Toyota Motor North America, announced the opening of the first DC fast charging (DCFC) stations in Baldwin Park and Sacramento, California, built through Toyota’s “Empact” vision.
The new co-branded stations, owned and operated by EVgo, each serve up to eight vehicles simultaneously and exclusively feature 350 kilowatts fast chargers.
“As automakers offer more electric vehicle choices, EVgo will continue deploying fast chargers for current and prospective EV drivers,” says Scott Levitan, Executive Vice President of Growth at EVgo.
“Collaboration with automakers has been core to our expansion over the last several years, and EVgo is grateful for the continued support from Toyota,” he adds.
First announced in April 2023, Toyota’s “Empact” vision aims to aid the transition of underserved communities to a future of electrified vehicle transport as part of Toyota’s broader mission of providing “mobility for all.”
The strategy centers on three fundamental areas: access to charging, providing affordable mobility solutions, and reducing carbon emissions.
The newly opened stations will help provide convenient access to EV charging for members of the surrounding communities.
“Together with EVgo, we are supporting broader access to charging infrastructure for all battery EV drivers, including those driving Toyota and Lexus BEVs,” states James George, Toyota Motor North America’s General Manager of EV Charging Solutions.
“We aim to ensure that customers find the newly opened stations both convenient and efficient for their charging needs,” he adds.
