Electric Era

Commissioning testing is underway at our newest Electric Era monster battery site in TN - 5 cars charging simultaneously with 250kW support from our battery:

I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new position of Design Manager at Electric Era! I'm looking forward to continuing the mission to transition the world to sustainable transportation, and helping to power all of EV charging.  😊 ⚡ 🚘

This is a somewhat late post, but I wanted to thank the P3 Electrified Summit ⚡ (Sarah Zinn, CEM & Sandra McQuain) for the space to discuss how a #P3 approach can be used to advance delivery of fast chargers being deployed through the NEVI Program. 🐔 & 🥚: Surveys have found that up to 80% of potential EV buyers cite a lack of charging stations as a key reason to not purchase an EV. Due to the anticipated slow growth of EV adoption, charging companies do not install charging stations at a faster rate, and the sentiment remains. NEVI Program: It’s $5 billion program with a goal of having 500,000 publicly accessible chargers in the US by 2030 (triple the amount today). It provides up to 80% of reimbursement to eligible capital and operating expenses for companies that install EV chargers. States oversee their respective procurement processes and award funds for selected sites. To date, 72% of states have initiated procurement of sites, and $572 million has been allocated for approximately 3,480 chargers. 🛣 First phase: States are required to award funding to sites located no more than 50 miles apart along freeways and highways and no more than 1 mile from a freeway exit or highway roadway. Chargers need to be “fast” chargers (Level 3). This will significantly improve the EV driving experience and help neutralize the general feeling that there are not enough charging stations for EV drivers outside of and between urbanized populated cities. ⏭ Next Phase: States seem to need less than 30%-40% of their allocated NEVI funds to complete the first phase (i.e., a charger every 50 miles). Given our work and knowledge of progress by States, deploying charging stations at a faster pace and more efficiently will require innovative methods. States will have more flexibility to install chargers outside of the main highways, along with the ability to fund Level 2 chargers (significantly cheaper). 👌: My argument is that a #P3 approach might help deliver these chargers as a bundle, deploy funds faster, help States manage less contracts, put more emphasis on risk transfer to the private sector, and promote innovation in site selection and technology approach. 🛑: This is not for every State, it should not preclude participation from smaller firms, and may require enabling legislation, among other considerations. Many thanks to Brian Kyuhoon No and William Gorham for their great contribution as panelists on this event, they were instrumental in shaping my thoughts around this idea, and to Dylan Sellars for his awesome input and help with the presentation. #P3Summit #Infrastructure #P3 #WSP
