The Texas government is awarding charging infrastructure provider Universal EV Chargers $3.2 million in grants to install 105 charging stations at 21 locations in the state. The focus is on destination chargers at hospitality establishments or apartment buildings.
Universal EV Chargers does not provide further details on the planned charging infrastructure. According to its website, the manufacturer’s portfolio includes both AC wall boxes and pillars as well as DC chargers. The accompanying press release does not say which models will be used.
In Texas, there are currently a total of 2,139 AC and DC charging stations with 5,100 connections to serve about 150,000 registered electric vehicles.
