EVgo and Toyota open first joint HPC stations
Each location features four chargers with an output of up to 350 kW, which are capable of charging up to eight vehicles simultaneously. They join EVgo’s wider network of more than 1,100 fast charging stations across the US, which it claims is within 10 miles of 145 million people.
Toyota says that the new stations are located in ‘amenity-rich areas’, enabling ease of access to shops, restaurants, and malls. Their launch comes as part of the Japanese firm’s ‘Empact’ strategy, which seeks to improve access to public charging in ‘underserved areas’.
“Toyota and EVgo’s action to bring advanced fast chargers to Sacramento is an important milestone,” said State Senator Angelique Ashby. “Fast charging stations provide critical infrastructure that will amplify the use of clean energy transportation across Senate District 8. This initiative is a win for our environment and for the future of sustainable mobility in Sacramento.”
The launch also marks the growth of a wider strategic partnership between EVgo and Toyota, which in 2024 saw the firms promise one year of complimentary charging at EVgo stations to owners or leaseholders of the 2025 Toyota bZ4X.
James George, General Manager of EV Charging Solutions for Toyota Motor North America, said: “Together with EVgo, we are supporting broader access to charging infrastructure for all battery EV drivers, including those driving Toyota and Lexus BEVs. We aim to ensure that customers find the newly opened stations both convenient and efficient for their charging needs.”
