Battery-integrated EV charging specialist XCharge North America and EV charging operator JOJO Superfast EV Charging will collaborate to deploy nine new public EV charging sites in Illinois.
The two companies will bring 800 kW of ultra-fast charging capacity to nine initial locations in the Chicagoland region, located at branches of the home improvement chain Menards.
XCharge NA will manufacture the chargers and oversee site construction from concept to completion through its turnkey solutions team.
Each site will feature four C6 Smart DC Fast Chargers, providing a total of eight charging ports per location. Charging stations at Menards locations in Crestwood and Bridgeview are now operational, and seven more are scheduled to come online by the end of this year.
“For too long, residents of the South Side of Chicago have been plagued by range anxiety, but today, we’re changing that narrative,” said Joe Sheehan, CEO of JOJO Superfast. “Our goal at JOJO’s is to build the most accessible ultra-fast network in the state, and XCharge’s unmatched technology and hardware are the keys to making that scale possible.”
