About
Electrify America is the nation's largest open Hyper-Fast electric vehicle (EV) charging network, operating more than 5,000 chargers across 1,080+ stations throughout North America. Founded in 2016, the company has built a coast-to-coast infrastructure designed to serve EV owners whether they are commuting, running errands, or embarking on long road trips — with charging sessions as fast as 30 minutes. The Electrify America mobile app allows drivers to locate nearby stations, monitor real-time availability, track charging sessions, and manage payments all in one place. The platform supports Plug&Charge technology, enabling compatible electric vehicles to automatically authenticate and initiate charging without manual steps, streamlining the entire experience. Drivers can choose pay-as-you-go pricing or subscribe to the Pass+ membership to save approximately 25% on charging costs. Network transparency tools keep users informed about station availability, ongoing maintenance, and planned outages, so trips can be planned with confidence. For businesses, Electrify America offers tailored solutions including hosting a station at an existing location or launching a fully branded charging network backed by Electrify America's expertise and infrastructure. Sustainability is a core pillar — initiatives like Solar Glow™ and the award-winning deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) help build a grid-friendly, renewably powered charging ecosystem. Electrify America continues to invest in next-generation charging technology, making it the go-to solution for EV drivers and businesses across North America.
