ChargeNet also hopes to integrate food ordering and payment to make the process even more seamless for customers. The 75kW Tritium RTM fast chargers can provide up to 46 miles of range in 10 minutes and will accept payment through ChargeNet’s mobile app and a credit card reader on the charger.ĬhargeNet’s EV charging platform, specifically designed for fast food franchisees, fills a market need for more fast chargers at locations with food and a restroom. The companies broke ground on the installation last month and the chargers are anticipated to be operational by the end of October. “Our first installation is just the beginning of realizing that goal, and will be the first of many as we look to expand charging opportunities throughout the Bay Area and other parts of the country in the hopes of increasing adoption of EVs, especially in lower-income areas.” “Our goal is to replace the refueling experience that Americans know with a charging experience that is fast, convenient and inviting,” Tosh Dutt, CEO of ChargeNet, said in the release. The partnership, which is expected to expand in other areas, leverages funding from the California Energy Commission’s California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project and the California Public Utilities Commission’s Self-Generation Incentive Program, according to a press release. Tritium is partnering with EV charging network operator ChargeNet to install RTM direct current fast chargers at South San Francisco Taco Bells.
