Electrify America on Monday released a few tidbits of network-usage data from 2021, showing a major uptick in charging sessions over 2020.<\/p>\n

The company said in a press release that it provided 1.45 million charging sessions in 2021, which is more than five times the 268,000 charging sessions reported for 2020.<\/p>\n

Electrify America dispensed 41.4 gigawatt-hours of electricity in 2021, which the company said powered 145 million miles of EV driving and offset 5.7 million gallons of gasoline.<\/p>\n

\"Electrify<\/p>\n

The Electrify America network is built around high-power 150-kw and 350-kw DC fast-charging stations using the Combined Charging Standard (CCS), although many stations also have at least one CHAdeMO connector<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reported increase in charging-station use is an indication not just how quickly the charging network has been growing, but also how rapidly more CCS-compatible vehicles have been delivered. Many of the automakers that initially committed to CCS\u2014including Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen\u2014have only recently started launching and delivering mass-market EVs.<\/p>\n

With Electrify America’s network still largely focused on road-trip waypoints, it’s also an indication that EV drivers are getting out beyond their commutes.<\/p>\n

The current network includes 800 sites, with more than 3,500 individual chargers open or under construction, according to Electrify America. The company plans to double the size of its network<\/a>, with plans for 1,800 DC fast-charging stations and a total of 10,000 individual connectors in the United States and Canada by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

Electrify America topped the Tesla Supercharger network in one study of the user experience<\/a>\u2014although it’s worth noting that study didn’t include an assessment of uptime or reliability.<\/p>\n

Last year also saw Electrify America finally add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support<\/a>, and tap into the home charging business<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
