EV charging provider Skycharger has been awarded a lease to develop a fast EV charging facility at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Skycharger will build the EV Hub to serve electric rideshare drivers as well as airport customers and the general public.

Skycharger’s EV Hub will help meet the expected surge in charging demand from rideshare vehicles in response to California’s Clean Miles Standard, which will require 90 percent of Uber and Lyft miles to be traveled by EVs by 2030.

Skycharger’s EV Hub will feature 400 kW DC charging ports along with a convenience store. It will be built with the support of engineering, procurement and construction firm Burns & McDonnell. Charging hardware manufacturer Kempower will provide 12 Power Cabinets and 24 Satellite dispensers, enabling dynamic power distribution.

“We’re moving quickly to bring this hub online,” said Johannes Copeland, COO of Skycharger. “Kempower’s flexible, high-performance charging technology is the right fit for this mission-critical deployment at one of the busiest airports in the country.”

Skycharger, a subsidiary of Skyview Ventures, owns and operates a growing network of EV charging stations in seven states, including the West Coast Highway Corridor DC Fast Charging Network, located at highway exits throughout California. Skycharger recently scored a $10-million grant from the California Energy Commission to design, construct and operate two publicly accessible electric truck stops along I-5 in Southern California. The company will also construct a 70-port electric truck charging hub at the Port of San Diego.
