The Bay Area Corridor Charging Expansion program (later renamed to Charge Fast!) will deploy direct current fast chargers and co-locate Level 2 chargers at key destination sites in close proximity to the region’s major transportation corridors. The Charge Fast! Program maximizes the geographical distribution of chargers around the Bay Area, thereby: 1) strengthening the region’s limited fast charge network; 2) enabling plug-in electric vehicle drivers to have an extended range of travel and increase their use of plug-in electric vehicles; and 3) further supporting the adoption and growth of plug-in electric vehicles in the region. The project implements the strategies identified in the 2013 Bay Area Plug-in Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan and will assist California and the Bay Area region in achieving their air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy independence goals.
