Working to fill gaps in its network, Electrify America is adding charging stations in new locations, including one site near a famous roadside attraction.<\/p>\n

The Volkswagen-funded charging network on Wednesday announced groundbreaking of charging sites in South Dakota and Wyoming. These will be the first Electrify America stations in those states.<\/p>\n

The South Dakota charging site will be located at a Conoco gas station in the town of Wall, best known for Wall Drug. Opened as a drug store in 1931, it’s since morphed into a large complex of restaurants and gift shops, luring tourists on the way to nearby Badlands National Park.<\/p>\n

Drivers stopping in Wall will have access to two 150-kw and and 350-kw DC fast-charging stations, an Electrify America press release said.<\/p>\n

The Wyoming site, located at Smith’s Food and Drug in the town of Gillette, will also have two 150-kw and two 350-kw DC fast-charging stations, according to Electrify America. It plans to open additional charging sites in both Wyoming and South Dakota “over the next year and a half.”<\/p>\n

Electrify America is making rapid progress in building out its fast-charging network. It just finished its first cross-country route<\/a> in 2020, but is already filling in alternate routes. That includes connecting to more tourist destinations\u2014like Yosemite National Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And Electrify America recently (finally) made its app compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto<\/a>. So it’s now a bit easier to find those new charging stations.<\/p>\n

Electrify America plans to more than double the network by 2025. Meanwhile Tesla plans to triple the Supercharger network in two years<\/a>. VW has reportedly been shopping the network out to other investors, in a bid to scale up faster<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
