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.

New EV Tax Incentives Will Drive Infrastructure Growth

Rarely has the progress of a fledgling new industry been so predicated upon passage of legislation as was the clean energy transportation sector with the $1.2 trillion once-in-a-lifetime infrastructure bill that Joe Biden signed into law on Monday. In addition to money for roads, bridges, ports, public transit – you know, all the usual stuff – the Build Back Better bill provides bold new incentives for drivers to go electric, including a $7,500 tax credit for EV buyers through 2026. Cars costing $50,000 or less and trucks, vans and SUVs costing $80,000 or less will qualify.

Installations of the Month (November 2021): LADOT Lots 628 & 639

Los Angeles continues to be the epicenter for America’s green transportation “EV-olution,” and EVCS continues to lead the charge there, having installed over half the city’s publicly accessible non-Tesla charging stations for two years running. According to industry group Veloz, nearly one in 10 new vehicle sales in California are plug-in vehicles – which accounts for 45% of all plug-in vehicle sales nationwide – and that trend is only growing. In our research, many Angelenos cite the increased prevalence of DCFCs as a key reason why owning an EV has become practical, reducing their range anxiety and offering lightning-fast charging options while they shop, eat and play. This further reinforces the idea that greater access to modern charging infrastructure leads to more EVs on the road, especially in underserved areas that are sorely in need of outside economic investment to spur growth.

The Electrical Vehicle Industry Keeps Growing, and More Drivers are Making the Switch

The electrical vehicle industry keeps growing and more drivers are making the switch. This is why governments around the world are working to provide EV users with more and more places to recharge their cars. At EVCS, we’ve created an app that you can use when wondering “Hey, where can I find electric car charging stations near me.”

Top 10 Reasons Why Mass EV Adoption is Inevitable

According to evadoption.com, EV sales are expected to grow from 3.4% of all new auto sales in 2021 to 29.5% in 2030. In fact, they cite several models that forecast explosive growth in EV ownership across the US over the next decade. See the full sales forecasts here complete with bar charts and supporting data: https://evadoption.com/ev-sales/ev-sales-forecasts/. While skeptics might pooh-pooh these projections as overly optimistic, we believe they may actually fall short of the eventual reality. Of course, only time will tell, but below are our top 10 reasons why we believe EVs will be as commonplace as microwaves come 2030.
