Skycharger has unveiled a state-of-the-art 24-port EV fast-charging hub at San Francisco International Airport, aimed at serving rideshare drivers, airport customers, and the public. Equipped with Kempower’s advanced 400 kW chargers, the hub supports SFO’s zero net carbon goals and California’s Clean Miles Standard, projecting to cut over 200,000 tons of CO2 emissions in a decade.
SFO Embraces Green Mobility with Skycharger’s EV Charging Hub
Skycharger, a leading US-based electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure developer, has launched a cutting-edge 24-port fast-charging hub at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), marking a significant step in sustainable transportation. The facility, approved unanimously by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 10, 2025, and the SFO Airport Commission in April, is designed to cater to electric rideshare vehicles like Uber and Lyft, as well as airport patrons and the general public.
The hub features 12 Kempower Power Units and 24 Kempower Satellite dispensers, delivering up to 400 kW of charging power, ensuring rapid charging for next-generation EVs. According to Johannes Copeland, COO of Skycharger, the deployment leverages Kempower’s “Flexible, high-performance charging technology,” ideal for the high-traffic demands of one of the busiest airports in the US. The hub includes a canopy and planned amenities to enhance user experience.
This initiative aligns with SFO’s ambitious goal of achieving zero net carbon operations and supports California’s Clean Miles Standard, which mandates that 90% of rideshare miles be electric by 2030. Skycharger projects the hub will prevent over 200,000 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions within its first decade, addressing the surging demand for EV charging driven by the growing adoption of electric rideshare fleets.
Skycharger’s expertise in EV infrastructure is further evidenced by its recent $10-million grant from the California Energy Commission to develop two electric truck stops along I-5 and a 70-port charging hub at the Port of San Diego. The SFO project, backed by unanimous local government support, reflects California’s leadership in clean transportation. Andy Karetsky, CEO of Skycharger, emphasized, “This EV hub will be a next-generation facility, reflecting SFO’s bold commitment to sustainability.”
The hub’s strategic location at SFO ensures accessibility for rideshare drivers, who face increasing pressure to transition to EVs under state regulations. It also caters to airport customers and local EV owners, offering a convenient, high-speed charging solution. With dynamic power distribution and high reliability, the hub is future-proofed to meet evolving EV technology demands, positioning SFO as a leader in green aviation infrastructure.
