Humm Energy - EV Charging Case Study


Powered by Epic, Humm Energy saves six figures and begins nationwide expansion of investment-free EV charging
Scenario
Humm Energy is a Dallas-Fort Worth-based CPO that specializes in deploying and managing EV charging infrastructure for multi-family residential properties. The company removes two major barriers to EV charging adoption in these properties: high upfront costs and the burden of maintenance.

Prior to launching its EV charging operations, the senior leadership at Humm Energy successfully developed, sold, and transferred eleven wind power projects totaling over 1,400 MWs to major energy companies, including Berkshire Hathaway Wind, Edison Mission Energy Inc., BP Wind Energy North America Inc., and Iberdrola Renewables.

The experienced executive team at Humm Energy secured contracts with several luxury residential properties in Texas and deployed Juicebox EV chargers under several long-term operating contracts. When Enel X Way announced the shutdown of its North American operations, the Texas based CPO went searching for a reliable software partner to continue its operations.

How Epic Charging Empowered Humm Energy’s Operations to Scale
Before discovering Epic Charging, Humm Energy had deployed over 85 JuiceBox EV chargers across multiple high-end residential properties. However, the announced shutdown of Enel X Way threatened its ability to operate, putting over $100,000 in charger investments at risk.

The software migrations team at Epic Charging stepped in and provided Humm Energy with the necessary software platform and technical support to transfer its charging stations and continue operations. Moreover, Epic Charging also launched a Humm Energy-branded software platform, and provided brand RFID cards thereby allowing the Texas based CPO to continue its premium customer support without disruption.
The Epic Charging software platform and customer service commitment has been game changers for our business”, said Stefan A. Noe, managing partner at Humm Energy. “With Epic’s support, we now have the technology and operational backing to expand nationwide.”

Why Residential Properties Choose Humm Energy
Humm Energy offers residential property owners and condo boards a hassle-free EV charging solution. By working with Humm Energy, property owners, condo boards, and home owner associations avoid the upfront investment and complexities of installation, operation, and maintenance.

Rather than selling equipment and services, Humm Energy operates on a usage-based revenue model, charging EV drivers based on their utilization of the EV chargers. Since Humm Energy’s earnings are tied to electricity usage rather than a one-time sale, the company is incentivized to maintain high-quality service and optimal charger performance.

Luxury residential properties continue to choose Humm Energy for its expert leadership, strategic business model, and exceptional customer service.
