Nissan partners with EVgo to build 'I-95 Fast-Charge ARC' connecting Boston and Washington D.C. with electric-vehicle infrastructure

Partners lead EV fast-charge deployment with second 'Advanced Recharging Corridor' project   2017 Nissan LEAF Press Kit

  • Later this year, electric-vehicle owners in the Northeast will be able to make the 500-mile journey between Boston and Washington D.C. more conveniently thanks to a series of DC fast-charge stations along the "I-95 Fast-Charge ARC"
  • Nine EVgo DC fast-charge sites, with 50 total chargers equipped with two fast-charge plugs each, are set to provide the necessary charging infrastructure to connect the two cities and everything between
  • Most of the charging stations are located conveniently off I-95 for easy on/off access and will be among the nation’s largest public charging stations to assure availability and speed of service
NEW YORK – Nissan and EVgo have revealed a plan to connect Boston and Washington D.C. via nine electric-vehicle DC fast-charge sites. Unveiled at the opening ceremony of the 2017 New York International Auto Show, the plan will deliver a robust charging infrastructure along I-95, providing EV owners peace of mind when driving along the route. The Northeast charging route is slated to be on-line this fall.
The "I-95 Fast Charge ARC" is already under construction. Covering the 500-mile span between the two cities, the nine sites and 50 total charging stations will have a capability of charging four or more EVs simultaneously at a power output of 50kW. The charging sites have been designed with future advances in EV technologies in mind, and have been pre-wired for a high-power charging power output of up to 150kW with simple upgrades once such technology is available to consumers.
"Regardless of range capability, a convenient fast-charge infrastructure along high-traffic routes is imperative in the mass-adoption of electric vehicles," said JeSean Hopkins, senior manager, EV infrastructure strategy & business development, Nissan North America, Inc. "This element of the EV equation is seemingly overlooked by others, but we’re all-in. Following a similar project in California, this is our second ‘corridor’ project in the U.S. and completion is expected in time for the launch of the all-new Nissan LEAF."
