Electrify America, the largest open DC fast-charging network in the US, has silenced some critics with the unveiling of its groundbreaking indoor flagship charging station in San Francisco. Conveniently located just two blocks from the iconic Bay Bridge, this innovative facility promises to reshape the charging experience for electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the bustling South Market (SoMa) neighborhood.
Addressing Past Concerns, Embracing the Future
Previously, Electrify America faced criticism for limited charger availability and lack of amenities at some stations. This new indoor hub directly addresses those concerns. It boasts 20 hyper-fast chargers capable of delivering up to 350 kW of power, significantly reducing charging times compared to older stations. Additionally, the comfortable temperature-controlled lounge areas feature food and beverage vending machines, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and restrooms with baby changing stations, providing a welcome respite for drivers while their vehicles charge.
Elevating the Experience with Pioneering Design
This station embodies Electrify America’s “Charging Station of the Future, Today” initiative, showcasing its commitment to human-centered design and innovative solutions. Developed in collaboration with leading architects and construction consultants, the station incorporates extensive customer feedback to create a truly unique and enjoyable experience. Unlike most outdoor stations, the indoor environment offers year-round comfort and protection from the elements.
Driving Forward with Electrification
The Harrison Street Station represents a paradigm shift in EV charging infrastructure. It sets new standards for accessibility, convenience, and sustainability, proving that charging an EV can be a seamless and even enjoyable experience. This flagship station serves as a blueprint for future developments, demonstrating Electrify America’s unwavering commitment to accelerate the transition to electrification and shape the future of urban mobility.
