At GRA's suggestion, a thread to discuss developments in Colorado Electric Vehicle Fast-Charging Corridors, which is being sponsored by the Colorado Energy Office.
As many at MNL know, Colorado has long been one of the states most supportive of EVs. One of the initiatives to make EVs viable for many car owners is the development of a statewide network of 34 DCFC stations: https://energyoffice.colorado.gov/zero-emission-vehicles/electric-vehicle-fast-charging-corridors
Map of the network: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1TF_9EOqWtip9vGvnZajwVepfZusul1Cf&ll=38.94148672662878%2C-106.5703647265625&z=7
This network should complement the EA and other charging networks and help road trips in non-Tesla EVs with DCFC capability.
ChargePoint was awarded the contract to build and run the stations. These stations will support both CCS and Chademo fast charging. How many of the stations are up and running I couldn't say, although I expect that Plugshare might help with that.
As someone with more than 50,000 miles of road trips using the Tesla Supercharger network, I am very pleased to see the rapid growth of CCS/Chademo fast charging locations in many areas of the country, for those with cars that use those plugs.
The only station with which I am familiar is currently under construction in Montrose CO. I'll post some more info on that site in the next post. If anyone else has info or pictures on these installations, please post them here.
