Rural EV Charging Solved? Inside PowerUp America’s first NEVI charging station!

We traveled to Manchester, Kentucky, to see the future of rural EV charging! Join us as we tour the very first PowerUp America site, funded by the NEVI program. We’re diving deep into the tech, the design, and the mission to make EV charging reliable and accessible for everyone—even in the heart of rural America.

We’ll show you the impressive Kempower hardware, talk about the trailer-friendly "pull-through" design, and chat with the founders and partners behind this project to see how they're solving the biggest pain points in the charging experience today.
