Electrify America

Electrify America runs a public fast charging network across North America. The company says it operates the largest open hyper-fast charging network in the country, with more than 5,600 hyper-fast chargers and over 1,080 charging stations. Its network serves commuters, errand runners and long-distance drivers. The company also offers hosting and ownership options for charging stations. The company says it has worked to make EV charging more accessible since 2016.

Network and app

Drivers use the Electrify America app to guide each charge from start to finish. The site says its Pass+ membership saves about 25 percent on charging. The company publishes notices about current and planned maintenance so drivers can plan trips around them. The app also walks new drivers through the charging process. The site points newcomers to a Charging 101 guide and to its mobile app for a smoother first visit. The site says a charging session can take as little as 30 minutes.

Storage, testing and grid work

Electrify America says it uses battery energy storage systems at its stations, an approach the site describes as award-winning. The company also cites a dedicated testing facility for new equipment, a grid-friendly network called Solar Glow, and a focus on renewable energy. Hosts and owners who want to offer charging can work with the company across the whole journey.

Growth and plans

The company says it is pursuing more speed and smarter technology across its network. The site says hundreds of thousands of EV owners use the network every week. The company describes its mission as making each charge as smooth as possible for drivers.
