Chase, the US consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co, will pilot public fast electric vehicle (EV ) charging stations across 50 of its US branches beginning this summer. This adds to the company’s efforts to promote environmental sustainability in its retail locations as it also aims to expand on-site solar power to 400 additional branches by the end of 2022.
To bring the charging stations to branches, the bank partnered with EVgo, a pioneer and innovator in transportation electrification. The company builds, owns and operates the nation’s largest network of public DC fast chargers, powered by 100% renewable energy. Charging stations at branches bring added convenience to customers, allowing them to set up a meeting with a banker and conduct their banking needs while charging their cars.
“We’re always listening and taking feedback from customers when it comes to the branch experience, and we know environmental sustainability is important to them,” said Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Chase Consumer Banking. “We’re excited to work together with EVgo to bring electric vehicle charging to our branches and offer this important service to thousands of customers and their communities.”
