Phillips 66 is now looking to expand its electric vehicle charging stations venture, and it partners with FreeWire Technologies to bring more of its power hubs outside of Finland. The venture already proves to be a promising one as it has more than 100 locations in the Nordic country, with plans to bring more to other countries, starting with the United States.

The driver of an electric Tesla car looks to the mobile phone to unlock the public charging station on October 29, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin, along with most of Germany's large cities, is seeking to vigorously expand its number of public electric car charging stations both to meet growing demand and to meet environmental goals.
According to a press release by Phillips 66, the company intends to bring its EV charging stations to the United States, and it partnered with FreeWire Technologies to make it possible. The companies are joining forces to solidify their venture towards bringing their charging station program to the United States from its operations in Finland.
Pam McGinnis, Vice President, Global Marketing at Phillips 66, said that "With EV adoption growing, Phillips 66 is working with FreeWire to bring consumers electric fueling stations that meet their expectations for high-speed, on-the-go charging."
There are massive plans in place for Phillips 66, and its enormous corporation aims to use its resources built in the country to expand on its charging venture.

Additionally, Clean Technica reports that Phillips 66 has already opened its new charging stations in Finland as part of its program toward clean energy. The company brought numerous charging stations, with 100 recent locations in the country, in addition to the existing ones that came before.
FreeWire's Boost charger will fulfill its promises on the other end, promising rapid charging features that will cut the waiting time for the EVs to fill their batteries in every charge.
EV and the Charging Stations for Continued Mobility
Many companies do not produce their electric vehicles but are looking into bringing charging stations to their many locations or startups that want to get power for all. One of the most promising candidates here is the Seven-Eleven Corporation which aims to bring more than 500 charging stations to North America by the end of the year.
However, many of the charging stations available globally are from their automakers that either go on the venture alone or partner with entities to bring their power supplies to the cars. Tesla is famous for its Supercharger stations, and it still wants to expand more with the help of the US government for more infrastructures for heavy-duty purposes.
Other companies are also extending their hands on these kinds of issues. There are many problems that it aims to focus on, especially with answering the overcrowding on certain stations. Phillips 66 and FreeWire are looking to bring more to the public, and it will help in the transition from ICE cars to electric vehicles in the future.
