EVgo, the nation’s largest public electric vehicle (EV) fast charging network, joined with the City of Sacramento to celebrate the public opening of California’s first-ever curbside high-powered charging plaza for electric vehicles at Southside Park.

“EVgo has already built more than 550 fast chargers across the state of California and is building more than 130 new, conveniently located fast chargers across California to deliver reliable and affordable fast charging to EV drivers across the state,” said Julie Blunden, Executive Vice President of Business Development at EVgo. “We’re proud to partner with the City of Sacramento on this innovative project, which will provide the first curbside high-power EV fast charging service in the state.”

“ABB has collaborated with EVgo for several years in pioneering infrastructure technology such as the first public CCS and high-power charging systems in North America,” added Bob Stojanovic, Director of ABB’s EV Infrastructure business for North America. “This first-ever curbside high-power charging plaza is the latest milestone in our shared mission to deliver a convenient, high-quality user experience to all EV drivers.”

The Sacramento facility is located at 2215 6th Street, Sacramento, California adjacent to the Southside Park.  The Southside Park location includes a total of six curbside chargers, including three 50-kilowatt DC fast-chargers capable of delivering up to 90 miles of range in 30 minutes; and three 150- kilowatt DC fast-chargers capable of delivering up to 150 miles of range in 30 minutes.
