September 12, 2022 – Electrify America’s announced that it will rebrand its DC fast-chargers for electric vehicles so that it’s easier for EV drivers to plug into the charger that best suits their car. The names for the two highest-level chargers are Hyper-Fast and Ultra-Fast.
Hyper-Fast stations are indeed the most powerful DC fast-chargers. They have a power delivery of up to 350 kW. When an EV that can accept these higher charging speeds uses a Hyper-Fast charger, it can “provide about 20 miles of driving range per minute of charging depending on the EV’s charging capability.”
EA’s Ultra-Fast stations will offer power delivery of up to 150 kW. If your car can’t accept rates higher than 150 kW, don’t plug into a Hyper-Fast station. Ultra-Fast stations can add around nine miles of range to a compatible EV for each minute they’re connected.
