Sacramento is now home to California's first curbside high-power charging station, thanks to a collaboration between EVgo and the City of Sacramento. The innovative charging plaza, located at Southside Park, features six dual-standard chargers that support both CHAdeMO and CCS Combo plugs.

The charging infrastructure consists of:

  • 3 chargers delivering 50 kW power output
  • 3 high-power chargers delivering 150 kW power output

This curbside installation marks a significant milestone in urban EV charging infrastructure, offering convenient access for electric vehicle drivers without requiring them to enter parking lots. The strategic location at Southside Park provides easy accessibility while demonstrating how cities can integrate charging infrastructure into existing street infrastructure.

The combination of standard and high-power chargers ensures the station can serve both older EV models and newer vehicles capable of accepting higher charging rates, making it a versatile solution for diverse charging needs.
