Electric Era launches US charging station network
US-based EV charging solutions provider Electric Era has announced that it has launched a new charging network to allow EV drivers to specifically locate Electric Era branded chargers when travelling.
The Electric Era Charging Station Network will allow the locations of Electric Era chargepoints to be visible on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) mapping systems, as well as third-party mapping platforms, regardless of the brand name attached to individual charger units.
The network can already been viewed on PlugShare and Google Maps, and Electric Era states that it will be added to the Hubject and WEX fleet management platforms in the coming weeks.
Electric Era has installed EV chargers in a total of 11 US states, with plans for further installations in Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Maine in the coming months. The company uses Level-3 DC fast chargers supported by battery energy storage to ensure that maximum power can be delivered even in locations where grid constraints exist.
In the UK, EV charging tech firm TUAL has developed similar systems and has recently partnered with Polarium Energy Solutions, with each battery-supported EV charger able to be installed in under an hour and having the ability to deliver high-speed 200kW DC charging on an 11kW supply, even if that supply was previously only sufficient for trickle AC charging.
One of the advantages of battery-backed EV chargers is the relative speed with which they can be installed. In June, Electric Era announced that it had completed installation on an EV charging hub at a Florida branch of retail chain Costco in a mere 54 days, compared to the normal timeframe of between 12 to 36 months.
Electric Era founder and CEO Quincy Lee celebrated the launch, stating: “From the start, Electric Era’s mission was to transform the EV charging industry by building the most reliable EV charging network in America.”
Data released in July by data analysis firm Paren shows that across the US, DC fast EV charger numbers are on a rapid upward trajectory. The report notes that in the second quarter of 2025, 4,242 new DC fast chargers were installed across the US, bringing the total number of public fast chargers in the US to 59,694, a 23.3% increase in the number of newly added chargers from the previous quarter.
Paren also predicts that around 16,700 new EV fast chargers will be installed across the US over the course of 2025, a 19% year-on-year increase.
