EVChargingStations.com says the Alternative Fuels Data Center listed 5,004 ChargePoint DC fast ports in the United States on 22 October. Paren's third-quarter report put the whole public fast-charging network at 80,964 ports, with Tesla still the largest operator.
Chery has announced a passenger-car charger it calls Volt-Dragon, with a stated peak of 1.44 MW and a 10 to 97 percent charge in 6 minutes 50 seconds. It has not named the car, and the first step it describes is about 100 sites in 10 Chinese cities.
LAZ Parking and EverCharge, part of indiGOtech, said on 20 October that a new joint venture will sell multifamily charging under the EverCharge SmartPower name. LAZ says the deal takes its network to 25,000 ports in North America.
