Axios - More high-speed charging stations for EVs will be available in urban parking garages under a deal to be announced today between BP Pulse and LAZ Parking, a leader in digital parking technology. Finding a place to charge is especially difficult in densely packed cities, where many people live in apartment buildings and don't have access to a home charger. Ride-share and taxi drivers also need a place to quickly recharge their EVs so they can get back to earning fares.

LAZ, which has parking facilities in 477 cities in the U.S. and Canada, will work with BP Pulse to deploy ultra-fast public charging hubs across 20 U.S. cities over the next five years.

  • Among them: Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington and Las Vegas.
  • The high-speed chargers, rated 250kW or higher, can fully charge an EV in 30-45 minutes.
  • The hubs will operate 24/7 and be open to the public.
  • An hour of free parking is included when drivers charge using the BP Pulse app. Share this story
