Electrify America’s goal is to promote greater Zero-Emission Vehicle adoption by offering an ultrafast and convenient charging network throughout the United States. This will fuel today’s EVs, as well as the rapid growth in EV models expected from many car companies between now and the early 2020s. Electrify America is also committed to building education and awareness of zero-emission vehicles through brand-neutral outreach, discover-and-drive events, and other marketing approaches. As an organization, Electrify America is also working with local, state, and national organizations, as well as vehicle manufacturers, to create more opportunities to enhance ZEV awareness. Electrify America electric vehicle chargers will be located within the United States and be of non-proprietary electric vehicle chargers, supporting CCS, CHAdeMO and J1772 standards so almost every electrical car can be charged. The charging network roll-out is being done in four 30-month cycles. Electrify America is also building a charger network in Canada called Electrify Canada. Electrify America currently has agreements with various manufactures for their electric vehicles to use its network of chargers or provide discounted charging rates. As of Q1-2020 Electrify America has agreements with the following:
1. Plug: Electrify America stations feature the major nonproprietary standards, including CCS, CHAdeMO and J1772, allowing nearly all EVs on the road today to plug in and charge. 2. Pay: The Electrify America mobile app lets a user pay through their phone and receive discounted per-minute rates through the Electrify America Pass+ subscription. Credit and debit cards are also accepted at each charger. Electrify America introduced an all-new pricing structure to support EVs capable of charging at faster speeds. Depending on local utility rates and the power level of the EV, the per minute DC fast charging prices can start as low as 15 cents a minute on up to 99 cents. And, as future electric vehicles adopt “Plug and Charge,” Electrify America stations will be ready to support them. 3.
