Electrify America's "Boost Plan" will more than double its current electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the U.S. and Canada, and it plans to have more than 1,800 fast charging stations and 10,000 individual chargers installed by the end of 2025, according to a press release.

The expansion will increase the deployment of 150 and 350 kilowatt chargers — the fastest speed available today — and help pave the way for more electric vehicles in North America.

The announcement expands Electrify America's previous commitment to invest $2 billion over 10 years in zero emission vehicle infrastructure, education and access in the U.S. In addition to adding to its existing network in the U.S., Electrify America will expand its Electrify Canada charging network which began installations in 2019. Both initiatives are part of a global announcement by the parent company Volkswagen Group to increase public charging infrastructure in North America, Asia and Europe.
