DC fast-charging solutions provider Kempower has started a strategic collaboration with EV charging infrastructure developer Skycharger at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
Kempower will supply the EV charging hardware for Skycharger’s new EV charging hub, including 12 Kempower Power Units and 24 Kempower Satellite dispensers, enabling dynamic power distribution and high reliability across the site. The EV hub will serve electric rideshare vehicles, such as Uber and Lyft, as well as EV-driving airport customers and the public.
“We’re moving quickly to bring this hub online,” said Johannes Copeland, COO of Skycharger. “Kempower’s flexible, high-performance charging technology is the right fit for this mission-critical deployment at one of the busiest airports in the country.”
Skycharger’s EV Hub will support and align with SFO’s sustainability work, advancing its zero net carbon operations goal and delivering extensive benefits to the region. It will also help meet the expected surge in charging demand from rideshare vehicles in response to California’s Clean Miles Standard, which requires ninety percent of Uber and Lyft miles to be traveled by electric vehicles by 2030.
“We’re proud to support Skycharger’s ambitious vision with technology built for scale, speed, and reliability,” said president of Kempower North America Monil Malhotra. “This deployment at SFO demonstrates how smart, flexible EV charging can meet the demands of high-traffic environments while advancing critical sustainability goals.”
