L-Charge - EV Charging Case Study

Epic Charging and L-Charge put up hybrid Public and Fleet charging site in days, grid free
Overview
As EV adoption accelerates beyond the pace of grid development, Epic Charging and L-Charge partnered to deliver a fast, flexible, and fully interoperable EV charging solution with no utility connection required. The result: an off-grid hybrid charging site supporting both commercial fleets and public EV drivers, all powered by Epic Charging’s advanced OCPP 2.0.1 software platform.

Challenge
A high-traffic location in a major metro area had strong demand for EV charging but lacked access to grid power. Traditional infrastructure would have taken months to permit, design, and connect, delaying electrification for fleets and cutting off public charging access in a critical area. The site owner needed a turnkey solution that could serve both public and private vehicles, go live immediately and operate independently from the utility grid.

Solution
Epic Charging provided a plug-and-play Charge Point Management System (CPMS) with full OCPP 2.0.1 support, enabling real-time monitoring, remote support, and seamless integration with both Payter credit card readers and the Epic Charging mobile app.
L-Charge delivered ultra-fast, off-grid EV chargers powered by low-carbon fuels (such as RNG and flare gas), which were installed in just days with no permitting or utility coordination required.

Key Highlights for Fleets
  • Speed
    Site went live in under 1 week: no utility lead time, no grid work
  • CAPEX free
    Available as Charging-as-a-Service - no upfront hardware investment required, pay only per kWh used
  • ROI
    Site serves both fleet vehicles and the public EV drivers, maximizing ROI for the client
  • Ease of Payments
    Drivers pay with a bank card or app, no account or login needed
  • Power Output
    Ultra-fast DC charging, suitable for cars, vans, trucks, and buses
  • Future-Proof
    OCPP 2.0.1 ensures compatibility with evolving software features

The Impact
With this deployment, the operator was able to begin EV fleet operations immediately while providing public access to fast charging in an underserved area. Instead of waiting on grid permits, the site became a fully functioning asset generating revenue and cutting emissions from day one.

Why It Matters
For fleets navigating electrification timelines, tight budgets, and uncertain utility schedules, this model offers a practical, scalable path forward. A single deployment can:
  • Bring grid-like priced EV charging in a week, not years
  • Start serving operational needs now, risk and CAPEX free
  • Generate public usage by making your chargers work smart, not hard
  • Cut diesel miles from the road today, not tomorrow
