Evergo Connect represents the future vision of electric car charging. This pioneering project redefines the concept of electric vehicle charging with ultra-fast chargers powered entirely by 100% renewable energy sources.
With this inaugural prototype located in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, the company aims to replicate this innovative facility concept across the countries where it operates.
Bávaro, Dominican Republic – Evergo proudly announces the grand opening of Evergo Connect electric service station, a state-of-the-art facility poised to shape the future of electric mobility across the region. This groundbreaking project, a trailblazer in Latin America and the Caribbean, redefines the electric charging paradigm by seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and the convenience of modern amenities.
Users can now indulge in tailored relaxation while charging their electric vehicles. This pilot installation is situated in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Looking ahead, the company aims to replicate this prototype across the countries where it operates, spanning the markets of Mexico, Panama, Jamaica, Uruguay, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Aruba.
Evergo Connect boasts 29 fully equipped charging spots, each with ultra-fast chargers capable of replenishing an electric vehicle’s battery in under 20 minutes, depending on its capacity. Additionally, these chargers are versatile enough to accommodate cargo and passenger transportation needs.
Designed with user comfort in mind, the space offers complimentary Wi-Fi access, relaxation areas, co-working spaces, dining options, a children’s play area, electric vehicle rental services, and a showroom featuring the latest innovations in the electric vehicle sector.
A standout feature of Evergo Connect is its commitment to sustainability. Both chargers and the facility are powered entirely by renewable energy from photovoltaic generation. This environmentally friendly approach is possible through a strategic alliance with sister company CEPM and its renewable energy concession area.
In the words of Rolando González Bunster, President and CEO of InterEnergy Group, Evergo’s parent company: “As a company, we take great pride in spearheading a project of this caliber, propelled by state-of-the-art technology, sustainability-driven initiatives, and a forward-thinking vision for intelligent development, offering an innovative and eco-conscious alternative for electric vehicle charging. We aim to expand this pilot project to other parts of the country and the region in the near future.”
“Our goal is to continue our growth in the region and serve as a model for promoting electric mobility and environmental sustainability. Through our network, we have already mitigated over 2.5 million kilograms of CO2 emissions, and we are committed to making an even greater impact on the journey towards a greener future,” added Rolando González Bunster.
A Sustainable and Innovative Vision
Evergo Connect embodies a forward-thinking approach where cutting-edge solutions converge to serve the user’s needs. Among these innovations are the country’s first ultra-fast chargers, setting a new standard for electric vehicle charging. Another groundbreaking feature is the ‘Battery Swap’ system, ensuring seamless operation for delivery services within and outside the electric station.
Moreover, Evergo Connect has introduced a patented system featuring stationary bicycles within its facilities. These bicycles harness kinetic energy generated by users’ physical exercise, converting it into energy credits. Users can engage in physical activity while waiting for their electric vehicles to charge. Calories burned during exercise are tallied and, through a conversion process, translated into energy credits applied to the user’s charging bill via the Evergo app.
The development of Evergo Connect required an investment of approximately US$10 million, with crucial support from IDB Invest, the private investment arm of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and Bank of America. Recognising the significance of energy transition in the region, Evergo Connect was highlighted as a key project during the Annual Meetings of the Assemblies of Governors of the IDB and IDB Invest 2024, held in Punta Cana.
