EVgo opens EV charging stations throughout Salt Lake City

by Brianna Crandall — February 24, 2016—Of interest to facilities managers and owners looking for ways to improve the sustainability of their facilities, particularly in the area of tenant / customer access to EV charging services, NRG EVgo (“ee-vee-go”) and a diverse collection of site host partners announced in recent weeks the installation of new Electric Vehicle (EV) Fast-Charging EVgo Stations at six Salt Lake City area locations.

The chargers will give EV drivers the ability to recharge their vehicles in 30 minutes or less at the following locations:

  • Thanksgiving Point – 2935 Thanksgiving Way Lehi, UT, 84043
  • Daybreak – 4628 Daybreak Rim Way, South Jordan, UT 84095
  • Newpark – 1456 Newpark Blvd., Park City, UT 84098
  • Gateway – 18 North Rio Grande Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
  • City Creek Center – 50 S Main St., Salt Lake City, UT 84101
  • Harmons City Creek – 135 E 100 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111

Key to the success of the EVgo Network are the premier locations for the state-of-the-art DC fast charging infrastructure that is now in place. The company says it puts “the right chargers in the right places.”

EVgo installed these Dual Standard DC Fast Chargers at Thanksgiving Point.

EVgo Stations are equipped with DC Fast Chargers, which can deliver 40 miles of range in as little as 15 minutes, allowing EV drivers to quickly charge their vehicles while enjoying one of the many services the site partners offer, from a movie to a quick bite to eat to a run down the slopes. The stations also have Level 2 chargers that can charge all EVs.

The EV charging stations in the Greater Salt Lake City area are part of the nationwide established EVgo electric vehicle charging network that is designed to support both current and future charging technology. The stations serve the charging needs of all EV drivers regardless of the EV they drive. The company says it “provides drivers with the confidence needed to purchase an EV and discover an incredible new driving experience.”

NRG EVgo encourages other facilities to “recharge your business and your bottom line with charging solutions for customers, tenants, and employees alike.” EVgo helps companies navigate every step of the process from subsidizing infrastructure to adding and removing stations as needed so valuable real estate is never lost to unused spaces. To the property, a defined investment ends at the junction box, says EVgo, and the company does the rest.

According to the company’s Business / Office Web site, what sets its EV charging stations apart is:

  • Turnkey service
  • Scalability and efficiency
  • Affordability
  • Easy management
  • Driver benefits
