Kempower and PowerUp Launch 12-Site EV Fast Charger Network

Kempower and charge point operator PowerUp America have officially launched their first public DC fast charging station in Manchester, Kentucky. This marks the initial deployment of a larger initiative that will see the companies construct a total of 12 fast charging locations across the Southeast region of the United States. The project aims to expand the availability of high-speed electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The new station in Manchester features Kempower's charging solutions, designed to provide rapid charging capabilities for electric vehicles. While specific details on the number of charging stalls or power output at the Manchester site were not immediately disclosed, the partnership's broader goal is to accelerate EV adoption by addressing range anxiety and improving charging accessibility. The rollout of the remaining 11 sites is expected to follow over the coming months.

This collaboration between Kempower, a manufacturer of DC fast charging solutions, and PowerUp America, a charge point operator, signifies a strategic effort to bolster the electric vehicle ecosystem. By combining Kempower's technology with PowerUp America's operational expertise and network development, the companies intend to create a reliable and convenient charging experience for EV drivers. The expansion into the Southeast is a key component of this strategy, targeting areas with growing EV ownership and a need for enhanced charging infrastructure.
