A Texas auto dealer's charging hub plugs into federally backed EV push

DALLAS — At Friendly Chevrolet, a dealership off I-35E by Dallas Love Field, yellow tape and orange cones block off a section of the parking lot.

The space is being set aside for a first of its kind EV HQ Charging Hub that will provide eight high-speed chargers for all makes and models of electric vehicles. Friendly plans to install DC 120 kilowatt ultra-fast chargers that provide a full charge in 35 to 45 minutes compared with the standard eight- to 24-hour charge time of others on the market.

“What we are doing here at Friendly is we are going to try and become a real hub of not only electric vehicle sales but also of electric vehicle fueling, electric vehicle information and electric vehicle customer assistance,” said owner and operator Mark Eddins.
