Nissan will bolster its charging network with the addition of 200 new chargers. The car company has continued to expand its charging network by collaborating with EVgo, collaboration efforts between the companies have spanned six years. All of the 200 new chargers will be capable of 100kW charging and will be compatible with CHADdeMO and CCS connections. This will result in the single largest installation effort in the United States of 100 kW CHAdeMO quick chargers.
The two companies did not indicate any locations for the new electric vehicles chargers, however, the project is expected to take a number of years. Nissan's North America director of EV Sales and Marketing believes in the collaboration and emphasizes the importance of the public EV charging network.
