TORRANCE, Calif. – Tritium DCFC Limited, a global developer and manufacturer of direct current (“DC”) fast chargers for electric vehicles (“EVs”), today announces a partnership with Wise EV, a subsidiary of renewable energy service provider Wise Power, to provide fast chargers for a new national EV charging network.
The charging network is expected to start with 25 locations throughout Florida, with DC fast chargers at major gas stations through one of Wise EV’s gas station operation partners. Florida is the number two state in the nation for overall passenger EV sales, according to the Department of Energy (DOE), and received the third-largest state allocation under February 10, 2022, Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) $615 million National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program Guidance, as part of the $7.5 billion investment in electric vehicle charging as part of the 2022 Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act.
Wise EV has plans to expand the network using a hub and spoke philosophy, centering the charging around metropolitan hubs and connecting those cities through interstate-based charging spokes. The company has the goal to build a charging network that will allow drivers to travel from coast to coast. To execute this strategy, they plan to aggressively expand their network with Tritium’s fast charging technology, establishing their metropolitan charging hubs in 2022 and connecting those hubs with interstate charging spokes in 2022 and 2023.
Wise EV offers customers a compelling business model with attractive leasing rates, which the company believes is currently one of the most affordable ways to add fast charging to a property in the country.
