Elevate the Electric Vehicle Charging Experience with EV Range, a Full Stack EV Solution
By Jill Barnett, Director of Sales
Electric vehicles are everywhere these days. What began as a niche market with a loyal following has quickly evolved into a widely embraced mode of transportation. And here's the deal: thanks to a combination of local, state, and federal regulations, along with incentive programs, the adoption of electric vehicles will keep on accelerating. By 2030, at current growth rates, EVs will be the first choice for drivers over traditional gasoline-powered cars and trucks.
With this increase in EVs on the road comes the next question: where will drivers charge their cars?
Current consumers are comparing charging a car to a gas station visit. And today, the comparison is one where electric vehicle charging options generally fail to compete in terms of convenience, consistent pricing, and ease of use. But this is where the future of electric vehicle charging options will break the gas station comparison model. The future of electric vehicle charging is being led by a handful of companies offering different parts of the planning, installation, funding, and operating processes.
EV Range: The Full-Stack Electric Vehicle Solution
EV Range has quietly built the third-largest high-powered (150 kW+) public fast charger network in California. We do things a little differently: EV range was born out of the installation and management of some of the first high-powered chargers in California. EV Range is one of the only full-service companies working with property owners, charger owners and operators, and utility companies to evaluate all the options and execute on decisions.
The world of electric vehicle charging is new, fast-moving, and complex. Let’s discuss why EV Range is different and why it is the right partner for you. EV Range offers a full stack of EV charging products and services to put you in the best position possible to enable electric vehicle charging on your property.
Software
EV charger software is what makes one company’s offering different from another’s. Software enables a plethora of options for how to manage your EV chargers. EV Range has built a robust software solution to remotely manage and monetize electric vehicle chargers. Software uptime, easy-to-configure options, and payment processing are necessary to adequately offer electric vehicle charging. We built the software for the chargers that we own and operate, then expanded the platform to enable third parties to use the software to manage their own chargers.
The EV Range configuration options transform a commodity product into a unique business opportunity. The best part? We make it simple. Each charger is pre-configured and ready to use as soon as it is turned on.
Chargers
We only certify certain hardware that meets our quality standards to work with our software network. This ensures that the hardware on the EV Range network is fully managed, supported, and easy to use through our innovative driver app. EV Range offers chargers that can add anywhere between 20 and 200 miles per hour of charging time. We can help you decide which types of chargers are best for your location.
Planning
Many clients and potential clients are overwhelmed by the amount of information needed to offer EV charging to their patrons. The EV Range team has a long history of successful business ventures and knows that an ROI analysis is the first order of business for any potential project. In addition, we will gladly speak with you to discuss your details; this is where you will see EV Range shine. We have a dedicated team that will evaluate your property and electricity capacity to understand your charger and location options. EV Range can create site plans and engineering drawings, obtain permits, and, under certain circumstances, lead the construction process.
Grants and incentives
Although electric vehicle chargers and installation projects are generally coming down in price, they can still be prohibitively expensive. It is for this reason that local, state, and federal governments, as well as electric utility companies, offer grants and incentives to encourage the installation of EV chargers. EV Range has worked with numerous government organizations and electric utility companies to find and obtain grants and incentives that significantly offset the financial expense of purchasing and operating electric vehicle chargers.
Construction Management
One of the scariest parts of offering electric vehicle chargers is the process of installation. If you are installing Level 2 chargers, your favorite electrician should be able to help. Installing fast chargers, however, can be an intimidating project. EV Range offers engineering, planning, and construction services, along with post-launch support.
EV Range’s software provides a generous amount of information. One of the most important pieces of information the software gives is the real-time status of a charger. This gives you the ability to know whether your charger is operating correctly without hearing from your customers, thus nipping a poor customer experience in the bud. And EV Range offers a toll-free number for drivers to call in case there are any charging issues. EV Range is focused on the experience of all those who touch the charger: the owner, the operator, and the driver using the charger.
