As McCaslin looked for EV Charging options, she quickly became overwhelmed by the amount of information available online and decided to contract with
txlEV, one of our
B2B reseller partners, which is an infrastructure consulting firm with experience deploying over 600 fleet electric vehicles and hundreds of EV chargers.
“The first we did was help McCaslin decide if level 2 or DC fast charging made the most sense for her business”, said Tom Troxell, president of txlEV. “We also helped her apply for the
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit, procure the right charging equipment and software, and install the station.” We decided to deploy a DC fast charger powered by
Epic Charging software for the following reasons:
- The facility's parking lot is frequently at capacity. By utilizing a single dual-port DC charger, the Greentree Sportsplex could serve a large number of customers without taking up much precious parking space.
- The property was already serviced by a 480v 3 phase power supply with enough excess capacity to supply a DC Fast charger without rewriting a utility upgrade.
- The facility is located close to the busiest highway in the metro area and installing a DC charger created an opportunity to attract new customers to the Greentree Sportsplex.
“Our site acquisition analysis showed that the Greentree Sportsplex was strategically located within 10 miles of Pittsburgh International Airport, making it an excellent refueling point for rental car customers returning their electric vehicles”, said Tom Troxell. “In the other direction was Heinz Field and PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates which made this destination very valuable during game days”.
