EVgo and ABB have deployed an ABB High-Power fast charging station in California, the first in the US. With a maximum rate of 150 kW it can provide a charge of nine miles per minute, compared to three miles per minute offered by most of today's 50kW public charging stations. The fastest available public chargers currently in the market are 50kW, which can provide roughly three miles per minute of charge. The new fast-charger is located at the corner of 7th Street and Figueroa Street, near the Los Angeles Convention Center. However, the station will not be public and will be used to study and demonstrate impacts on utilities, permitting, standards for installation and building and safety requirements and will be made available on request for auto research vehicles.
