PSCFC and ChargeUp EV Team Up for DC Fast-Charger Network

ChargeUp EV, Palmetto State Clean Fuels Coalition, and Clemson University are partnering to connect South Carolina with electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The project will place direct current fast chargers (DCFC) at strategically placed locations across the state, allowing owners of all-electric vehicles to shrug off that pesky range anxiety and travel freely across South Carolina. Fast chargers are ideal for long-distance EV travelers because they allow owners to charge their battery in 15 to 20 minutes versus the five to six hours necessary when using a Level II charger. Ideal locations for the chargers will be along major travel arteries throughout the state, but potential sites are being explored within cities and towns. Proposed sites will need to be located close to current electrical infrastructure and have space for dedicated parking. Organizations and individuals interested in participating in the program or aware of potential site locations that might be ideal to install a DCFC are encouraged to call.
