Fast Charging is Coming to Tennessee
Hold onto your hats, Tennessee! PowerUp America, the new kid on the DC fast-charging block, is making big waves. With a minimum order of 100 shiny new DC fast chargers from the Finnish powerhouses at Kempower, they’re set to catapult our charging infrastructure into the future quicker than you can say ‘EVs rule!’
What’s On the Charging Menu?
Now, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill chargers. The upcoming stations in Tennessee, along with their debut site in Kentucky, will come equipped with everything from CCS1 to NACS connectors. Imagine zipping in, hopping out for a quick snack (yes, snacks!), and not worrying about weather thanks to the convenient canopies. The aims of these charging stations? Not just speed but comfort and accessibility—because who wants to pull over at a charger only to battle bad weather or a lack of amenities?
Investing in the Local Future
According to Josh Turner, the CEO of PowerUp America, “every new site is more than just a charger; it’s an investment in local economies.” And with the chargers heading to NEVI-funded sites compliant with the Build America, Buy America rules, we’re not just getting chargers, we’re electrifying economic opportunities across the Southeast. So, buckle up as PowerUp America accelerates local workforce development and fuels the transportation future!
