Nissan and BMW have joined forces with network operator EVgo to deploy an additional 174 fast charging locations in 33 states.

This expansion builds on the 120 fast chargers that Nissan and BMW announced in December 2015. Each location offers a dual 50 kW DC fast charging station with both CHAdeMO and SAE Combo (CCS) connectors. All are strategically located near shopping and dining establishments along well-traveled routes.

“BMW’s continuing collaborations with Nissan and EVgo demonstrate the company’s commitment to building a robust public charging infrastructure across the country,” said Robert Healey, Head of EV Infrastructure for BMW of North America.

“Infrastructure for all is a key strategic priority for us as we continue expanding the network of dual-port quick chargers,” said JeSean Hopkins, Senior Manager, Nissan EV Infrastructure Strategy & Business Development.

“We are constantly looking at strategic ways to expand our network and promote EV adoption to help make everyday EV use a reality,” said Rob Barrosa, VP of OEM Strategy and Business Development at EVgo.
