Intelligent power management company Eaton and Charge Enterprises, Inc. through its portfolio company, Charge Infrastructure, announced today a strategic collaboration to fast-track electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure deployment for fleets and car dealers.
The Importance of Infrastructure for EV Fleet Charging
With the U.S. aiming for EVs to make up 50% of all vehicle sales by 2030 and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) providing tax credits up to $40,000 for commercial vehicles, access to convenient, reliable and affordable EV fleet charging is essential. Eaton and Charge are providing complete EV charging infrastructure for fleet electrification, including projects incorporating renewables and enabling net-zero models.
“Working closely with Eaton, we’re offering a premier solution for fleets. Eaton is delivering intelligent and innovative electrical solutions for affordable and sustainable EV charging, while Charge integrates years of vehicle expertise and premium services to develop, plan and create fleet models that support Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and maximize EV uptime as well as provide remote maintenance and monitoring,” said Mark LaNeve, President of Charge. “Furthermore, our collective focus on safety, reliability and scalability only strengthens the solution delivered to the client,” said LaNeve.
