Phillips 66 boosts EV charging strategy in the US
Published on: Aug 23, 2024
The company aims to establish charging stations at over 30 sites across Texas, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington by the end of 2025.
Phillips 66 is amping up its work in the electric vehicle (EV) charging space after being awarded $2.5 million in grants from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program.
The company has previously announced plans via its 2024 Sustainability and People Report to add locations to more states through 2025.
To date, the firm has been awarded a total of $7 million in U.S. EV charging grants to broaden its growth plans and offset 50% of the costs to build pilot charging stations. Some of the recent funding from NEVI will help build three sites in Colorado, with two in Colorado Springs and one in Grand Junction.
“Electrification is an important part of our Emerging Energy organization’s approach, and we’re taking a pragmatic approach to our EV charging pilot program. We want to provide a mix of affordable, reliable energy to meet all customer expectations,” sadi Zhanna Golodryga, EVP of Emerging Energy and Sustainability at Phillips 66.
The company plans to have active charging stations at over 30 sites across Texas, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington by the end of 2025.
Phillips 66 dipped into the EV charging space in 2022 when the first branded chargers were installed at the company’s flagship station near its Houston headquarters. Additional charging sites were commissioned in Washington in late 2023 and Colorado in early 2024 with the first 76 and Conoco branded chargers, respectively.
