With more than 850 public fast charging locations, the EVgo
network provides DC fast charging for all fast-charge capable EV
models on the market. This new Marina Square Shopping Center
station is one of two EVgo charging locations that received the
Northern California Charging Access for Reliable On-Demand
Transportation Services (CARTs) grant funding from the California
Energy Commission (CEC) Clean Transportation Program. CARTS grants
are designed to provide funding for projects that support EV
charging infrastructure for on-demand transportation services
including those such as ride-hailing, taxis, and more.
“EVgo is committed to Electric For All, and the availability of
public fast charging is key to making that a reality for all EV
drivers, but especially rideshare drivers,” said Jonathan Levy,
Chief Commercial Officer at EVgo. “EVgo appreciates the support of
the California Energy Commission to electrify this critical segment
of the market, and this program will help EVgo drivers—including
those on the Uber platform—to power up and get back on the
road.”
Situated near Oakland International Airport and I-880, the new
charging station will enhance access to public EV fast charging
infrastructure for the local community in a high-mobility demand
zone, reducing local pollution. I-880 is a major connecting route
and one of the most congested highways in the Bay area.1 The
station is capable of charging vehicles up to 80% in 15-45 minutes,
enabling high utilization drivers to quickly charge in between
rides, while shopping at one of the retailers in the center or on
the go.* Drivers with Uber Pro Gold, Platinum and Diamond status
can save up to 45% on session costs over EVgo’s standard Pay As You
Go rates.**
The ribbon cutting ceremony that officially opened the Marina
Square Shopping Center EVgo station featured a lineup of local
speakers, including Patty Monahan, Commissioner, California Energy
Commission; Pauline Cutter, Mayor of San Leandro; Adam Gromis,
Public Policy Manager, Sustainability & Environmental Impact at
Uber; and Sara Rafalson, Vice President, Market Development and
Public Policy at EVgo.
