Today, there are 86 EVgo chargers in the state of Colorado,
including 39 Level 2 and 47 DCFC chargers. Four of the new EVgo
public fast chargers are high powered 350 kW, capable of delivering
approximately 180 miles in 15 minutes and two of the new chargers
are 100 kW, capable of delivering approximately 90 miles in 15
minutes.* Through EVgo’s 100% renewable-powered network, the new
fast chargers will provide zero emission charging to EV drivers and
support Colorado’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) targets, reducing
pollution and accelerating the transition to clean transportation.
The state of Colorado has long been a leader in its commitment to
EV adoption, establishing the Charge Ahead Colorado funding program
in 2013, which encourages development of EV charging stations
across the state.
“The Polis-Primavera administration is committed to doing our
part to enhance clean air efforts and save drivers money by
expanding EV adoption statewide,” said Lt. Governor Dianne
Primavera. “EVgo’s new fast charging station at Lloyd King Center
adds momentum behind expanding the state’s accessible EV charging
infrastructure and will help accelerate the adoption of EVs
statewide. As the proud driver of an EV, I know how frustrating it
can be to need a charging station but be unable to find one; we are
thrilled to bring greater charging accessibility to communities
across our state.”
“EVgo is building fast charging stalls across the country, and
we recognize that making Electric for All a reality takes great
partners like the ones that made this new station in Arvada
possible,” said Jonathan Levy, Chief Commercial Officer of EVgo.
“Colorado is a critical and fast-growing market for electric
vehicles, and EVgo is thrilled to keep expanding our network to
help accelerate the transition to e-mobility and even cleaner Rocky
Mountain air for all Coloradans.”
“Regency Centers is happy to provide EVgo fast chargers as an
amenity to our tenants and their customers across 11 of our retail
properties,” said Mark Peternell, VP of Sustainability at Regency
Centers. “Regency Centers believes in being a good steward and
leader in sustainability, and helping accelerate EV adoption
through this partnership is another way for us to put words into
practice.”
“The city of Arvada is thrilled to be a part of this
collaboration between such great organizations. These new EV fast
chargers will help further advance Colorado’s electrification and
climate goals and expand valuable access to public charging for
residents and travelers alike,” says Marc Williams, Mayor of
Arvada.
“The opening of another EVgo charging station in Colorado builds
upon GM and EVgo’s effort to accelerate charging infrastructure
build out by adding more than 2,700 DC fast charging stations.
Along with all the Ultium-ready chargers at EVgo stations, GM
customers can leverage charging capabilities up to 350-kilowatts,”
said Alex Keros, Lead Architect, EV Infrastructure at General
Motors. “We are excited to partner with EVgo to expand charging
access here in the Rocky Mountain State and across the
country.”
"EVgo is a great partner for our Charge Ahead Colorado and EV
Plazas programs," said Will Toor, Colorado Energy Office Executive
Director. "Each of these sites represents progress toward our goal
of a robust network of fast-charging infrastructure in the metro
area and throughout the state---and also helps deliver on the Polis
administration's commitment to taking bold action on climate and
improving air quality."
The new EVgo chargers were unveiled today, October 26th, as part
of a ribbon cutting ceremony at Lloyd King Center, hosted by Dianne
Primavera, Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, alongside Jonathan
Levy, Chief Commercial Officer of EVgo, Alex Keros, Lead Architect,
EV Infrastructure at General Motors , Mark Peternell, VP of
Sustainability at Regency Centers, Marc Williams, Mayor of Arvada,
