“Electrifying fleets play a key role in GM’s vision to get ‘Everybody In’ on an all-electric future. GM is working with In-Charge to support fleet customers as they move toward an electric vehicle lineup,” said Alex Keros, Lead Architect, EV Infrastructure, General Motors.
He adds, “Our collaborative approach to helping fleets go electric will streamline implementation while building charging infrastructure that fits their unique, ongoing electrification needs.”
Accelerate infrastructure decisions
GM fleet and BrightDrop customers will be able to access In-Charge for support with their infrastructure needs. Given the high demand for EV charging infrastructure in the U.S., many utilities are dealing with long queues to upgrade facilities. As a result, the charging equipment necessary for fleet vehicles may face longer timelines than vehicle deliveries.
“With these challenges, it is very important to work with an infrastructure partner early,” said Terry O’Day, COO of In-Charge Energy, adding “GM understands this dynamic, as well as anyone in the EV industry, and this announced relationship reflects the need to move vehicle and infrastructure decisions forward concurrently.”
infrastructure support
In-Charge Energy will be available to provide infrastructure support for the GM fleet and BrightDrop
As a part of Ultium Charge 360’s fleet service, In-Charge Energy will be available to provide infrastructure support for the GM fleet and BrightDrop customers.
This includes fleet and facility planning, engineering and design, utility interconnection, construction management, hardware, and software selection and supply, final installation and commissioning, monitoring, maintenance, repair, reporting, and finance.
Cost-effective with optimum upgrades
In-Charge uses its own field technicians to directly perform many of these services. In-Charge Energy also produces a suite of hardware products that pair with products from ABB, Delta, Juicebar, Siemens, and other charger manufacturers to provide the right configuration for every fleet.
Having the right infrastructure installed keeps operating costs low for fleets, allows for upgrades over time, and ensures different types of vehicles operate on a single platform.
