A few weeks ago, I covered the story of IKEA expanding EV charging in Sweden. At that time, the company announced plans to put 1,000 charging stations in its Sweden stores (in the company’s home country).
. At that time, the company announced plans to put 1,000 charging stations in its Sweden stores .
Now, the company is entering a new partnership with Electrify America to do the same thing in the United States. IKEA has collaborated with Electrify America and Electrify Commercial to bring ultra-fast public charging stations and delivery fleet electric vehicle charging to over 25 IKEA retail locations throughout the US, in order help reach the company’s ambition to become a circular and climate positive business by 2030.
In total, there will be more than 200 individual ultra-fast chargers — offering the fastest charging speeds available today from 150kW to 350kW — at IKEA retail locations across 18 states. This includes Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. The first locations are expected to open in late 2022 and continue opening until they’re completed by 2023.
Electrify America has been expanding rapidly since it opened its first charging station in May of 2018. In fact, they’ve been opening an average of nearly four stations per week! As of now, there are over 800 stations and 3,500 individual chargers open with plans to expand to 1,800 charging stations comprised of 10,000 individual chargers in the United States and Canada by 2026.It may seem like announcing every little charging partnership deal could get a little old.
