HOUSTON ? NRG Energy?s eVgosm electric vehicle (EV) charging network now includes Houston?s first Freedom Station, allowing eVgo subscribers to plug in their vehicles and add 30 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes. Currently, the eVgo network is the only electric vehicle-charging network in the nation to offer this extremely fast charging option.
The first Freedom Station is located at the H-E-B Buffalo Market and three additional Freedom Station sites will open within the next two weeks at the Shops at Houston Center in downtown Houston and two Walgreens stores. NRG is planning to open 25 Freedom Stations around Houston by year-end and 25 more in 2012 with additional stations located on the grounds of retailers such as H-E-B, Best Buy and others.
Each Freedom Station offers room for two cars to charge simultaneously. In addition to the 480-volt DC fast charger able to charge an EV at a rate of 160 miles of range per hour of charge, the sites also offer a 240-volt Level 2 charger that can add up to 25 miles of range in an hour.
?This partnership with H-E-B, the Shops at Houston Center and Walgreens brings unprecedented charging capability to EV drivers in Houston,? said Arun Banskota, president of eVgo. ?This Freedom Station, and the many that will follow in the coming months, will provide EV drivers with a convenient option for charging and offer them complete range confidence knowing they can power their vehicles throughout the greater Houston area.?
