June 26 2024 - 12:00PM
EverCharge, a leading provider of large-scale electric vehicle (EV)
charging solutions, and part of SK Group, today announced the
unveiling of the new EV chargers at 153 Townsend St. in San
Francisco.
"The unveiling of EverCharge’s new chargers at Oracle Park marks
a pivotal moment in our City’s journey towards electrification,”
said San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed. “With a goal of achieving
1,700 public chargers in the City by 2030, this partnership between
EverCharge and the San Francisco Giants to install 150 total
chargers is a significant step forward. After all, it’s going to
take everyone doing their part to help San Francisco meet its bold
carbon-neutral goals, and this is precisely the kind of
collaboration we need to see across all industries. By expanding
access to electric vehicle charging, we are making it easier for
residents and visitors to switch to cleaner transportation, helping
us create a more resilient, fossil-free future for all.
“At the Chamber, we’re proud to support initiatives that propel
the city towards positive change,” said Rodney Fong, President and
CEO of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. “We’re seeing a rapid
increase of electric vehicles, so this project is coming in at the
right time to support the city’s sustainability goals and
initiatives.”
As part of a strategic partnership with the San Francisco Giants
announced earlier this year, EverCharge is working to install
hundreds of EV charging stations around Oracle Park. The chargers
are intended to provide the local community - including Giants fans
and Oracle Park event go-ers - with a reliable and eco-friendly
transportation solution. With the unveiling of the first 50
charging stations, EverCharge is thrilled to support the transition
to clean energy for the San Francisco community and beyond, and
help establish the venue as a reliable EV charging hub.
“The installation of EverCharge’s EV charging stations near
Oracle Park is a significant step towards a more sustainable future
for San Francisco,” said Tyrone Jue, Director at San Francisco’s
Environment Department. “By expanding access to EV charging, we
make it easier for residents and visitors to switch to electric
vehicles, which is critical to achieving our Climate Action Plan’s
goal of net-zero emissions by 2040.”
“At the Giants, we are actively listening to our fans and remain
dedicated to providing unmatched experiences,” said Jason Pearl,
Chief Revenue Officer at the San Francisco Giants. “With this
groundbreaking installation of EverCharge EV chargers, we are
responding directly to the needs of our fans and Oracle Park
event-goers who are increasingly using electric vehicles when
traveling to and from our ballpark.”
“We’re proud to unveil these chargers, and can’t wait for the
community to start using them”, said John Lin, SVP of Global Sales
at EverCharge. “Our strategic partnership with the Giants brings
EverCharge’s unmatched technology to where people want it most, and
allows us to remain dedicated to our shared commitment to
electrification.”
EverCharge’s patented SmartPower technology maximizes the number
of charging stations on limited electrical infrastructure, enabling
organizations to install up to 10 times more stations, while
minimizing the need for costly electrical upgrades.
