NRG eVgo Plants 200 EV Charging Stations

LOS ANGELES—NRG eVgo has secured partnerships and agreements to build 200 fast-charging Freedom Stations throughout California, focusing on San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The company, which is a subsidiary of NRG Energy Inc., already has 46 of these electric car charging stations under construction with 15 in operation.

“We are making great progress building a comprehensive infrastructure that will make owning an electric vehicle even more convenient and fun,” says Terry O’Day, VP of NRG eVgo in California. The vehicle charging stations have a Level 2 charger and at least one direct current station that will allow electric vehicle owners to charge their vehicle in just minutes. “We take great pride in helping reframe the way Californians think about electric cars and their ability to enjoy cleaner transportation by providing the state with the best and most robust fast charging infrastructure in the United States,” O’Day adds.
