Costco partners with Electric Era to bring back EV charging in the U.S.

Costco, known for its discount gas stations, has left EV drivers in need of juicing up out in the cold for the past 12 years. But that seems about to change now that the big-box retailer is putting its brand name on a DC fast-charging station in Ridgefield, Washington.

After being one of the early pioneers of EV charging in the 1990s, Costco abandoned the offering in 2012 in the U.S.

While opening just one station may seem like a timid move, the speed at which the station was installed — just seven weeks — could indicate big plans going forward.
