SK Signet Inc. has entered into a long-term EV charger supply agreement with Francis Energy. During the initial phase of the agreement, SK Signet will provide 1,000 400 kW EV charging dispensers. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced the location of new EV charging stations along Ohio interstates, making it the first state to announce charging station sites that will be developed as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program.

SK Signet and Francis Energy were noted as participants in this project, emphasizing how the partnership will ensure a supply of made-in-America chargers sufficient to meet the administration's goal of achieving a safe, convenient, reliable, and affordable charging network across the country. SK Signet's fast-charging infrastructure is built for maximum user-accessibility, accepting all formats of payment, and offering charging for a broad range of vehicles on the market. The charging stations will also allow drivers the option to reserve a charging location from the vehicle or mobile application.

The announcement follows the grand opening of SK Signet's EV charging manufacturing facility in Plano, Texas. The facility, SK Signet's first in the U.S., will be able to produce more than 10,000 ultra-fast chargers per year at full capacity.
