We officially opened our EV charging stations and launched our new electric vehicles into our transportation fleet. This is just the beginning in the evolution of our greener transportation solutions. Thank you to Mayor Steve Noble and Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger for your support, and for attending our ribbon cutting on Friday. Luckily, the rain held off until we were under the canopies enjoying some food! #evchargingstations #GreenEnergyFuture #electricvehicles
This is a huge boost to EV adoption for consumers. The cost of installing a level 2 charger can range, but on average it is going to be between $1500-$2000. It's not the charger, it's running the 220V to and into the garage that's expensive. To have most or all of that cost reimbursed cannot be overstated.
Last week we announced our brand new residential #EV charger purchase and installation rebate program, now open to eligible customers in northern Illinois. Today at the Chicago Auto Show, we shared that we’re launching two more new rebate programs this month for business and public sector customers: a rebate program for the purchase of EV vehicles and fleets; and a rebate program for the expansion of public charging access. These three rebate programs are part of our larger investment to help accelerate an equitable adoption of #ElectricVehicles in northern Illinois. “Working with our partners in northern Illinois, ComEd is committed to helping customers benefit from zero emissions vehicles, which can significantly reduce pollution and enhance air quality for all residents across our communities,” said Erica Borggren, our VP of customers solutions. “Through new targeted incentives, we are aiming to accelerate the transition toward all-electric fleets, cars, buses and trucks, while at the same time catalyzing the buildout of a regional network of public EV charging to serve more customers – a key factor to growing EV adoption equitably.” Not only do #EVs offer fuel and maintenance cost savings and performance benefits, but #OurCommunities can experience environmental improvements from reduced tailpipe emissions. Electrifying transportation — including cars, trucks and public transit fleets — can also create tangible health benefits for all families across northern Illinois, especially communities which have traditionally borne the brunt of climate change and air pollution.

Impact of charging behaviours on the business might be underestimated by fleet operators. Our digital twin can help you take that burden off your shoulders with our seamless solutions. Talk to us at Steam-A to know more. #fleetmanagement #fleetoperations #charging #evfleet #chargingbehaviour
If you are a fleet operator - did you know that your charging behaviours (how / when you start and stop charging each vehicle in your fleet) has a HUGE impact on your vitals? Charging behaviour determines - vehicle battery health and longevity - energy costs - grid stability - fleet availability (out on the roads instead of queueing for a charging bay), and hence - revenues! Such an important decision that affects top and bottom lines is often left unmanaged. Uninformed floorwalkers (even with the best of interests in mind) may be plugging and unplugging vehicles when they shouldn’t. If you are a fleet operator and would like the assurance of each charging decision being well informed and based on first principles - talk to us about our digital twin. It makes life much easier (and cheaper - for now and for the future). #evcharging #fleetcharging #charginghub #electricvehicles #electricbuses #electrictaxi
EV charging is big business at the moment, we talk about it a lot. With a push for more eco-friendly travel, the infrastructure needs to be there to support it. It’s great to encourage your staff to have electric cars, but if they have to go to Asda down the road to charge it, that’s not giving them the support to make a change. More and more people are looking to their employers to provide the systems they need, and we know it can be confusing. Speak to us to find out more and let us plan the ideal system for you. #evcharging #electricvehicles #electricarcharging

COMBATTING RANGE ANXIETY IN THE ANNAPOLIS COUNTY AREA Wikipedia describes range anxiety as a "driver's fear that a vehicle has insufficient energy storage (fuel and/or battery capacity) to cover the road distance needed to reach its intended destination, and would thus strand the vehicle's occupants mid-way." https://lnkd.in/eqhKSYUP This anxiety can be made worse in predominately rural areas such as Annapolis County where electric vehicle charging infrastructure is severely lacking. This is one of the reasons why Comeau Refrigeration Ltd's climate action plan included the installation of 2 Level 2 EV chargers at our shop just outside Bridgetown. These chargers will not only be used to supply power to our own fleet of EVs (more on that in another post) but also be made available to the public on a flat pay-per-use basis during business hours. Considering the lack of EV infrastructure in the area, we felt that we could be a stopgap in the short term when travelers on NS-101 find that a charge is required as they travel west. Another hope for this initiative is that despite the fact that the Municipality of the County of Annapolis has no plans at the moment, for charging infrastructure, this may spur them on when they see it in action. Funding for this initiative was provided by @Clean Foundation's EV Boost Program: https://lnkd.in/e9Cyvzgb And Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP): https://lnkd.in/emdDiP4M

A significant challenge hindering the adoption of electric vehicles among both consumers and fleets has been the charging infrastructure. Many face difficulties in securing reliable access to charging stations, especially in rural areas, and ensuring an adequate charge level for diverse routes can be quite complex.
