Catering to Niche Markets

EV drivers are as unique as the cars they own. All have special reasons why electric mobility is the sensible choice for them. In that vein, we recognize that building a massive new EV network is not a one-size-fits all strategy, but one that takes into account the needs of niche groups across the country. Below is just a smattering of the smaller market subsets we have in mind as we aim to make the transition to electric feel more personal and individualistic based on things like interests, jobs, and locale.

Long-Distance Commuters

We understand that range anxiety is a barrier to entry for many, which is why we’ve invested in more chargers near highway on- and off-ramps and along other key transportation corridors, as evidenced by our revitalization of the West Coast Electric Highway.

Recreationalists and Domestic Travelers

We recognize that leisure travel is important to many Americans, yet many recreation spots lack the infrastructure to support vacationers with EVs, which is why we installed stations near points of interest like Crater Lake in Oregon, Snoqualmie Falls in Washington, and Griffith Park in Los Angeles.

Electric Motorbikes

Companies like Zero, Lightning, and Harley-Davidson have started actively pushing their all-electric bikes over the last few years, and we offer them DCFCs that can charge 100+ miles of range in just 20 minutes or a full charge in about 35.

Trucks

From small pickups to big cargo vans, it feels like the backbone of America was built with trucks. We know EV drivers love them too, and with more models on the horizon, we’re making sure we offer public charging stations with spaces large enough to accommodate bigger vehicles

Fleets

More fleet owners are switching to electric as the economic benefits become palpable. We focus on installing infrastructure at commercial, industrial, and municipal sites where fleets can enjoy advanced network options like customized demand response and real-time performance monitoring.

Rural Markets

Underserved markets are one of our specialties. Urban infrastructure has driven the explosion of chargers, but those living in rural areas want to participate in the greening of society as well, and we actively seek out their participation, which is necessary if we’re truly to become carbon negative.

Urbanites

City-dwellers will always be a core constituency, largely because they want to reduce the excessive emissions that often come from their neighborhoods. We reward their advocacy with abundant chargers everywhere, from condos to coffee shops to college campuses.

Sports Enthusiasts

We have installed chargers near sporting venues like Dodger Stadium and Crypto.com Arena while also expanding into college athletics departments like CSU Maritime. We have also partnered with LA Fitness to install chargers at their locations across California and feature their ads on our charger screens.

Government Employees

Local, state, and federal governments have been a driving force in the EV revolution, from infrastructure subsidies to vocal support for clean energy alternatives. We, in turn, reciprocate by bringing our own expertise to those government venues that want to make charging available for their employees.

You

Whatever it is that drives you, we want to cater to why you drive. And no matter who you are or where you fit, we offer great across-the-board resources such as an app that helps you quickly find chargers, manage your payment preferences and track your charging history; value-driven subscription plans; top-of-the-line Level 2 and 3 chargers that will work with any EV; and world-class customer service that gives you the individual attention you deserve.

6 Reasons Why Fast Charging is Critical

EVCS Level 3 chargers are capable of charging an EV battery to 80% capacity within 20 minutes on most vehicles. They are sleek, efficient, convenient, work with any EV, can function in myriad conditions, and are connected by a powerful network with an easy-to-use interface. By all measures, Level 3 charging – or fast charging – is not only an important link in the electric mobility chain as society transitions away from fossil fuels but a critical one to the goal of mass EV adoption.

How the Ukrainian Crisis Could Affect the EV Market

As the conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, concerns over how a prolonged incursion may affect global markets has become a frequent topic of discussion, even as major world powers issue a raft of sanctions against Russia in an effort to end the conflict sooner. There are certain to be ramifications for the EV industry specifically as a consequence of the dispute, some of which we’re already starting to see, although their duration and severity are still in question. Here are some of the most prominent.

How EVCS is Helping Change America’s EV Charging Experience

As most of us know, Congress recently approved $7.5 billion in spending for new EV charging installations as part of the larger infrastructure bill, which we expect will help facilitate a speedier transition away from fossil fuels. Even with EV sales increasing in recent years, reports suggest that 25 percent of all carbon emissions still come from the tailpipe, so anything the government can do to kick things up a notch is surely welcome. However, even with such a sizable investment, many challenges still exist that network operators like EVCS will have to help overcome. In a recent article on TheVerge.com, several prescient examples were cited of core areas to focus on if we want to make mass EV adoption a reality. Below are a few such areas and how EVCS is addressing them.

Installation of the Month (February 2022): Sierra Commons Shopping Plaza

The next stage in the evolution of EV charging will be a network operator’s ability to target consumers with advertising and media content pertinent to their demographic. Our recent partnership with minority-owned iKahan Media has afforded us just that opportunity, allowing for the expansion and creation of “a digital billboard network combining EVCS chargers with state-of-the-art LED screens,” as reported last year in a release on PR Newswire. (You can read that entire piece here) Such an initiative is intended to improve the economics of public charging by generating an additional revenue stream for both us and site hosts, providing advertisers with a select new platform for reaching consumers, and increasing value for EV drivers who want to see content that’s relevant to them.

The Key to Becoming Carbon Negative

We hear a lot about the desire for carbon neutrality these days, and while that’s noble indeed, we at EVCS have set our sights on even loftier goals. Our mission is to become carbon negative, meaning not only have we reduced carbon emissions to negligible levels, but we have offset more carbon than we contribute to the environment through techniques like avoidance, sequestration and carbon capture.
