Electric Era, the end-to-end EV charging solution partner, opens New Mexico's first fast-charging EV station by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. Electric Era beat out Tesla and all other awardees to achieve the first NEVI-funded station in New Mexico.

To rapidly develop the site in just over six months for Skycharger, the site owner, Electric Era combined its patented technology with turnkey solutions that included site acquisition, station design, utility coordination, and construction. Furthermore, Electric Era collaborated closely with Columbus Electric Co-Op and site host Bowlin's Travel Centers, located in Akela Flats along the key I-10 corridor in Deming, N.M.

The speed of the company's first NEVI site demonstrates Electric Era's agility to meet urgent EV fast-charging needs, all while delivering a seamless, quality charging experience, plus the unique ability to circumvent capital intensive upgrades with its patented battery-backed design.

"Our track record of exceeding 98 percent uptime per charging port not only exceeds the NEVI requirements, it also demonstrates that reliable EV charging infrastructure can actually exceed the availability of traditional gas stations," said Quincy Lee, CEO of Electric Era. "Through innovative battery-backed solutions and efficient grid utilization, we're building charging infrastructure that drivers can consistently rely on."

The site features two 400kW EV fast-chargers, capable of charging four EVs simultaneously at a minimum of 150kW. Since entering the market alongside the NEVI program's launch in 2022, Electric Era's patented, reliable and battery-backed EV-charging stations combined with its streamlined team to manage and deliver comprehensive end-to-end EV charging solutions make it the tailor-made NEVI project partner.

"These projects demonstrate how American innovation can deliver reliable charging infrastructure at scale," added Director of Government Partnerships, Kyle Rowe. "We're not just installing chargers – we're building and maintaining highly available infrastructure that drivers can count on, while creating jobs and strengthening our nation's charging network."

The NEVI program calls for state-level Department of Transportation offices to first install a highly reliable and high-power EV fast charging station every 50 miles on U.S. highways. This puts the network's gap areas, often grid constrained, rural areas, into focus. Electric Era's solutions are perfect for this challenge.

Electric Era will continue to publicly share its performance metrics and uptime data, maintaining transparency with state DOTs and the public through standardized reporting tools and regular updates. Unleashing American Energy Executive Order: With the new change in administration, uncertainty around NEVI funding continues to circulate.

Electric Era is a leading EV charging station company on a mission to decarbonize and electrify transportation by powering all of EV charging. With a vision to accelerate the world into the Electric Era, the company focuses on delivering innovative, reliable, and retail-centric charging solutions that enhance both the driver experience and retailer operations.
