Philadelphia is expanding its public EV charging network again, adding around 435 new DC fast-charging and Level 2 charging ports across the city.
EV charging company PositivEnergy announced today that it’s working with the City of Philadelphia to add more public chargers for residents, commuters, and visitors.
“Philadelphia’s goal is to make EV charging more accessible, reliable, and equitable for residents in neighborhoods across the city,” said Anna Kelly, senior policy adviser for EV and parking in Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems. “We are grateful to our partners at PositivEnergy for sharing this vision, and for bringing their expertise to the implementation and deployment of our EV network.”
PositivEnergy says the project is focused heavily on charger reliability. This issue has frustrated EV drivers for years as some charging networks expanded quickly but struggled with broken chargers, poor maintenance, and inconsistent performance.
