Electrify America Expands Network with New Charging Station in Santa Monica

On August 13, 2025, Electrify America celebrated a significant milestone with the grand opening of its first charging station in Santa Monica, California. This new facility is a response to the growing demand for accessible public charging points for electric vehicles (EVs) in the region.

The Santa Monica station is equipped with 20 ultra-rapid chargers capable of delivering power at speeds of up to 350 kilowatts (kW). This impressive charging rate translates to adding up to 20 miles of range per minute for compatible electric vehicles, making it an efficient option for EV drivers on the go. As the largest open network of 350 kW chargers in the United States, Electrify America caters specifically to the needs of today's high-voltage electric vehicles.

Located conveniently near the I-10 freeway, the Santa Monica charging station embodies Electrify America’s commitment to enhancing driver experiences. “Our station here in Santa Monica showcases the direction of electric vehicle charging,” stated Robert Barrosa, the company's President and CEO. “We are focusing on expanding in areas where drivers need us the most and building larger stations with more ultra-rapid chargers. It's about creating a network that works seamlessly for a larger community and empowers their journeys across North America.”

Electrify America operates over 1,000 stations with more than 5,000 chargers across North America. Since the launch of its first 350 kW charger in 2018, the company has continuously evolved to meet the rising demand by testing new equipment and constructing large stations to support the next generation of electric vehicles.

The new Santa Monica station is a key element of Electrify America's holistic approach to providing a customer-centric charging experience. With larger stations bursting with advanced chargers, cutting-edge technology, and a focus on accessibility, the company is setting the stage for its future initiatives. Recent openings, including stations in San Francisco's Harrison Street and San Diego's Fashion Valley, reflect this strategy and serve as templates for planned stations in the years ahead.
