This EVgo charging station features charging from 100kW up to
350kW and can serve four vehicles simultaneously. The station was
supported with funding through the PSE&G Electric Vehicle
Charging Program, which is designed to support the deployment of EV
chargers for a range of customers. This latest launch is part of a
push to install and offer charging stations in communities where
ShopRite stores operate. EVgo is one of the nation’s largest public
fast charging networks for EVs and is powered by 100% renewable
energy.
“We are excited to work with EVgo to unveil this new charging
station for our ShopRite customers and the people of Bloomfield,”
said Neil Greenstein, a third-generation grocer and owner and
operator of Brookdale ShopRite. “We recently completed an extensive
renovation of the Brookdale store, and the next step was providing
a fast electric vehicle charging station in our parking lot. At
ShopRite, we are always looking for ways to provide the best
possible shopping experience for our customers, and making it
easier for people to charge their electric vehicles is part of that
commitment.”
A family-owned business that has served the local community for
more than 50 years, Brookdale ShopRite completed an extensive
remodel earlier this year that included storewide upgrades, new
departments and fresh food offerings, and the installation of new
energy efficient LED lighting and refrigerated cases.
The new EVgo charging station outside the store complements all
the great work inside the store and is available to both customers
shopping in-store and people in the community.
Greenstein was joined at the ribbon cutting by community leaders
and guests, including Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, Bloomfield
Mayor Michael J. Venezia, Essex County Commissioner VP Carlos
Pomares and Councilman Nicholas Joanow.
“EVgo builds charging stations in convenient locations where
drivers can charge their EV while completing their everyday
activities, like going to the grocery store,” said Stacy Huston,
Director of Portfolio Accounts at EVgo. “As more drivers transition
to electric vehicles, EVgo is excited to expand partnerships with
site hosts like Brookdale ShopRite to increase access to EV
charging and build more infrastructure in communities in New Jersey
and beyond.”
ShopRite has supported sustainability efforts – both in stores
and communities – for more than four decades and plans to add more
electric vehicle charging stations to its stores, enabling
additional drivers to go electric with convenient access to public
charging. Wakefern Food Corp., the logistics, distribution and
merchandising arm of ShopRite, is working with Wakefern Members and
stores to identify locations for new charging stations.
“Wakefern’s electric vehicle charging initiative is important to
the cooperative and our supermarket banners. This is an ambitious
effort to work with providers to bring this critical infrastructure
to many of our stores and communities,” said Andrew Pittel, manager
of real estate at Wakefern.
EVgo fast charging stations are compatible with all fast-charge
capable EV models currently on the market such as the Chevrolet
Bolt EV, GMC Hummer EV, Kia EV6, the Nissan LEAF and more. EV
drivers can easily initiate a fast charging session on the network
with the EVgo app, EVgo program card (RFID card), EVgo Autocharge+
or credit card. In addition, all drivers with an EVgo account can
earn points toward a charging credit through EVgo Rewards™.
The EVgo network has more than 850 public fast charging
locations and serves over 60 metropolitan areas across more than 30
states, including nearly 20 EVgo fast charging locations across the
Garden State. New Jersey is a leader in electric vehicle adoption
on the East Coast, and public EV fast charging stations are
important to helping the state reach its goal of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2030.
