Happy Earth Day!

We are proud to join in on the celebration by sharing our vision and progress toward accelerating the transition to clean, carbon-free transportation.

Since our founding in 2018, EVCS’ mission has always been to make public EV charging simpler, faster, more convenient, and more affordable. This mission has not changed as we continue striving to lower the total cost of EV ownership and lower the barrier to entry for customers considering going electric.

We are excited to share that to date, the EVCS network has delivered electricity to customer EVs equivalent to 17.1 million electric miles driven, 410,000 gallons of gas saved, over 45,000 trees planted, and over 8 million lbs. of CO2 prevented. With that many electric miles driven, you could drive around the world 686 times!

Much of this progress is a credit to the continued expansion of our West Coast network, where we most recently commissioned 12 locations across Washington State as part of the West Coast Electric Highway upgrades.

Our plan to double our network footprint by the end of the year remains unchanged as we aim to more than double our footprint to over 1,500 chargers and extend our services to 35 new cities along the West Coast. Recognizing the need to get you back on the road quickly, we will also be introducing our first wave of ultra-fast (150 kWh and 350 kWh) charging starting in Q3 of this year.

We are also making significant investments to enhance the reliability of our network. Starting in 2022, we placed orders surpassing 800 DC fast chargers with our partner Tritium, a leading supplier of advanced EV charging equipment assembled in the U.S. Earlier this year we kicked off a program to replace older, less reliable DC fast chargers with newer and faster Tritium equipment, improving uptime performance and charging success rate for EVCS customers. You can also expect to see the latest Tritium hardware deployed to over 35 new locations coming online across our West Coast network throughout 2023 and into 2024.

In addition to updating our equipment, we've also made significant technology investments, upgrading our ability to detect, diagnose, and remotely resolve charger performance issues in real time across our network. And we continue to build out our field technician team, enhancing our ability to both proactively identify and address potential issues and decrease our response time to customer reported issues. As always, please reach out to us for any support issue, either via our 24/7 phone support at 1-866-300-3827 or online at support.evcs.com.

This Earth Day, we reiterate our commitment not only to sustainability, but to continued network expansion and reliability. The goal is and will always be to provide simpler, faster, and more affordable EV charging for all. We are proud of the progress we have made thus far and continue to be excited about what’s to come.

EVCS Selected by Washington State Department of Transportation to Help Support The Adoption of Fast, Reliable Public EV Charging

LOS ANGELES – January 24, 2023 -- EV Charging Solutions (EVCS), one of the largest electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging network operators on the West Coast, today celebrates the award of $8.1M to build and retrofit 21 EV Fast Charging locations in Washington state. Awarded by the Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Partnerships (ZEVIP) to Forth and Energy Northwest, these partnerships will support EVCS’s installation of 76 new and upgraded EV chargers along priority corridors in Washington.

The Benefits of Going Electric and How EVCS is Making the Transition Easier

The inevitability of electric as the future’s dominant transportation mode seems all but assured at this point, yet many still question the benefits of transitioning to an EV. They cite things like higher vehicle purchase prices, limited charging infrastructure, and longer refueling times. While some such concerns are not entirely without merit, a deeper look reveals how far the industry has come in mitigating such issues, with the pros of EV ownership now far outweighing the cons. Consider just a few examples.

8 Reasons Charging Speeds May Differ

As one of the country’s premier installers of EV infrastructure, we’re often asked by clients why vehicle charging speeds tend to differ so dramatically. The answer is… there is no one answer. In fact, reasons can be diverse and complex. Below, we summarize several factors that may be affecting your charging speeds. The more you understand about these factors, the better prepared you’ll be to maximize your rate of charging while protecting your vehicle’s longevity.

EVCS Makes Hosting Chargers Easier Than Ever

Site hosts are an integral part of the EV revolution. They are the supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, gyms, office buildings, movie theaters, parking lots, retail stores and municipal properties – among others – that install and accommodate EV chargers for public use. Without these green warriors, progress would not be possible. Every day, we’re hard at work educating potential new site hosts on 1) how simple it is to have our chargers installed and 2) the key benefits of doing so. However, with so many still unaware, we thought we’d take a moment to summarize both the process and the perks!
