EVBox To Establish U.S. Headquarters And Production In Illinois

EVBox to manufacture DC fast and ultra-fast chargers in the U.S.

EVBox (part of the French energy company ENGIE) is coming to North America. The company just announced the lease of a North American headquarters and production facility at Innovation Park in Libertyville, outside Chicago, Illinois.

The plan is to start operation this summer and prepare a production line for “around 200 units of DC charging units per week in the initial phase”. That would be up to 10,000 DC chargers annually, which sounds quite ambitious.

“EVBox signed the lease for its first North American headquarters and production facility, just outside Chicago, Illinois. The facility will take up approximately 60,000 sq. ft. of the Innovation Park campus in Libertyville, IL, located around 40 miles north of Chicago. At this new site, EVBox will be able to produce around 200 units of DC charging units per week in the initial phase—a level of production expected to create between 80 and 120 new jobs in the immediate region.”

EVbox is not entirely new in North America, as the company already has offices in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

The offer includes various AC and DC charging stations. The latest DC units are:
