We’ve been watching the expansion of Electrify America since it began in 2018. While the stations often show up at Walmart stores, in many smaller towns that don’t have a Walmart, the company had to partner with somebody else like a restaurant, hotel, or other business.
Over the span of five years, TA plans to install 1000 individual chargers across 200 locations on major roads. With Electrify America’s DC fast charging solutions, they will manage and control every aspect of the installation process — from obtaining permitting approvals to providing warranty services and 24/7 support.
Electrify America will also be in charge of maintenance at all sites through its Electrify Commercial business unit. Electrify Commercial — the division of Electrify America designed to provide comprehensive EV charging solutions for businesses, utility providers, fleet owners, travel centers and convenience stores — is creating custom-made programs suited to meet customers’ specific needs.
“Electrify America is pleased to collaborate with an industry leader like TravelCenters of America to provide the critical infrastructure needed for EV drivers of today and tomorrow,” said Giovanni Palazzo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Electrify America. “Our combined strengths allow us to take bigger steps toward our shared vision of a more sustainable future.”Back in high school, I worked evenings at a TA truck stop.
