EVgo has installed the first EVgo public fast charging station for grocery stores chain WinCo Foods at its store in Nevada.
The store at 6101 N Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas features 350 kW and 100 kW fast chargers at four stalls. EVgo’s footprint in the Las Vegas market is about 18 locations.
“Las Vegas is a fast-growing market for electric vehicles, and we know that accelerating EV adoption there and across the country requires driver confidence in reliable and convenient public fast charging infrastructure,” said Jonathan Levy, Chief Commercial Officer at EVgo. “WinCo and EVgo recognize that adding EVgo fast chargers to WinCo’s Las Vegas store is a win-win-win for all of us, including drivers and shoppers. We look forward to growing our footprint with WinCo Foods in key markets across the West.”
The EVgo fast chargers can be used for any model of EV, the company says. Drivers can use the EVgo app, EVgo program card, Autocharge+ or credit card to charge their EVs. Those with an EVgo account can earn reward points.
EVgo has also installed fast charging stalls at two additional WinCo Foods locations in California. The plan is to install fast charging stalls at WinCo Foods locations in California, Texas, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Utah.
“WinCo is happy to play our part in the reduction of carbon emissions in our operating areas,” said Noah Fleisher, corporate spokesperson at WinCo Foods. “We hope the charging station at our Las Vegas store becomes a destination for EV users and can help encourage others to make the change.”
