BMW Nissan Charging Station Access for All EVs

BMW & Nissan Team Up to Expand DC Fast-Charging Station

BMW and Nissan have joined forces with EVgo to strengthen the U.S. DC fast-charging network. In 2015, they installed 120 new dual-port 50 kW DC fast chargers across 19 states, supporting both CHAdeMO and CCS connectors.

Because of this effort, Nissan LEAF and BMW i3 drivers gained access to rapid charging in key markets. Even better, the stations are publicly accessible to all EVs with compatible plugs.

Follow-Up Expansion in 2017

Then in early 2017, they kicked it up a notch. BMW and Nissan added 174 more fast-charging stations in 33 states, bringing the total to around 668 dual-port stations. This expansion means that 90% of i3 and LEAF drivers now enjoy convenient access to fast chargers.

Bringing Confidence to EV Drivers

Each station charges at up to 80% in just 25–30 minutes—far faster than common level‑2 chargers. Because these stations are strategically located near shopping and dining areas, charging fits naturally into everyday errands.

Why It Matters

Today’s EV drivers demand reliable, fast charging infrastructure. With these partnerships, BMW and Nissan deliver. As a result, longer journeys become more feasible, and range anxiety decreases dramatically. Furthermore, this strategy opens doors for other EV brands to leverage the network.

BMW Nissan Charging Station: A Growing Network: Fast, Reliable Charging Across the U.S.

Since launching their partnership in 2015, BMW and Nissan have steadily expanded fast-charging access with EVgo. In addition to the original 120 dual-port 50 kW stations across 19 states, they added 174 more chargers in 33 states by early 2017 . As a result, the network grew to around 668 dual-port stations, supporting both CHAdeMO and CCS connectors.

Each station can boost an EV’s battery to 80% in just 25–30 minutes, which suits both busy commuters and long-distance travelers. Moreover, EVgo now operates over 1,100 fast-charging sites nationwide, with more being added through partnerships like GM’s flagship network . Today, these charging hubs sit near restaurants, shopping centers, and major highways—making EV travel smoother and more practical than ever.
