Electric vehicle charger At first glance, it looks like a gas pump, but it’s an electric vehicle charger of the kind a Volkswagen subsidiary plans to install coast to coast.

RESTON, VA—Volkswagen of America subsidiary Electrify America, headquartered here, has tapped JLL to source car charging station locations for its zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure across the US. Electrify America plans to spend a total of $2 billion over four 30-month cycles to build out the infrastructure.

JLL EVP Walter Wahlfeldt and SVP Adam Cook are leading the team for site selection and due diligence. Plans call for the installation of charging sites along high-traffic highway corridors and community-based charging locations in major metropolitan areas coast to coast, from Seattle to Miami. The first phase of the plan is expected to see 2,500-plus non-proprietary electric vehicle chargers installed at more than 450 station sites, including 240 outside the state of California.
