The new co-branded stations, owned and operated by EVgo, each serve up to eight vehicles simultaneously and exclusively feature 350kW fast chargers.
“Availability of charging is essential as consumers consider buying or leasing an EV. As automakers offer more electric vehicle choices, EVgo will continue deploying fast chargers for current and prospective EV drivers,” said Scott Levitan executive vice president of growth at EVgo. “Collaboration with automakers has been core to our expansion over the last several years, and EVgo is grateful for the continued support from Toyota.”
First announced in April 2023, Toyota’s 'Empact' vision aims to aid the transition of underserved communities to a future of electrified vehicle transport as part of Toyota’s broader mission of providing 'mobility for all'. The strategy centers on three fundamental areas: access to charging, providing affordable mobility solutions, and reducing carbon emissions. The newly opened stations will help provide convenient access to EV charging for members of the surrounding communities.
“Together with EVgo, we are supporting broader access to charging infrastructure for all battery EV drivers, including those driving Toyota and Lexus BEVs. We aim to ensure that customers find the newly opened stations both convenient and efficient for their charging needs,” said Toyota Motor North America’s general manager of EV charging solutions, James George.
The new stations are located in amenity-rich areas featuring convenient access to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls and other activities. In addition to the infrastructure collaboration, EVgo also recently extended its charging program with Toyota that provides one year of complimentary charging for drivers who buy or lease the 2025 Toyota bZ4X battery EV compact crossover sport utility vehicle. Customers can use the Toyota App on their mobile device, which will also help them locate EVgo stations and initiate the complimentary charging offer.
