BMW, VW and ChargePoint have installed a combined 95 fast-charging centers along the East and West coasts of the U.S.
The direct-current systems are positioned about 50 miles apart to enable EV drivers to navigate two of America’s most heavily traveled corridors. Branches of the system reach into such areas as Cape Cod, the Jersey Shore, Lake Tahoe, Napa and Sonoma.
