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.”

The fact that each year more drivers are going for an EV instead of a regular car shows that EV mass adoption will happen. There are studies that say that by 2030, 30% of all cars sold around the world will be electric. With this in mind, it’s mandatory to answer the question “How can I find electric car charging stations near me?”. And that’s the reason we’ll tell you more about our app and our subscription plan.

Our mobile app

We always have drivers in our mind when creating new products. That’s why we’ve created an EV charging station app, so everytime you ask yourself “quick charge stations near me?”, you’ll find the answer in the palm of your hand. Our mobile app makes the EV charging experience pleasant and easy. Our interface is user-friendly, so that anyone can use it with no difficulties.

It’s convenient since it remembers your payment preferences and you’re billed only once a month. Yes, it’s just one payment a month for unlimited charging, and your subscription will start immediately after the payment is processed.

Recharging your EV’s battery with EVCS is as easy as opening the app, using the map to find a charger, scan the QR and charge your vehicle! Smart and easy.

When using our app, you’ll be able to track your charging history as many times as you want, and you’ll receive a notification when the energy transfer has ended so you don’t have to worry about checking that every 10 minutes.

‍

Why EVCS?

Our top priority is for drivers who choose to go green to find the confidence they need whenever hitting the road. Our subscription plan lets you recharge your car as many times as you need for only $49.99.

As we place our chargers in strategic places that offer other things to do while your car is charged, you won’t have to worry about that either. Plus, with our app finding the closest charger is fast and easy!

Installation of the Month (June 2021): Hyatt Place Riverside/Downtown

The ability to travel is something many of us take for granted. Our Interstate Highway System allows us to freely traverse state boundaries – to go wherever we choose whenever we choose – from the snow-capped Colorado Rockies to the soupy Everglade swamplands to the historic lighthouses of coastal New England. However, EV drivers are more acutely aware of their travel limitations because many areas of the country have yet to adopt pro-electric infrastructure policies, often leaving them with few ground-travel options other than ICE vehicles. We knew getting more Americans to embrace the electric revolution would require buy-in from the hospitality industry. As such, much of our focus has gone toward hotels that, by serving as site hosts for charging stations, can help kickstart that ubiquitous access required to convert many EV holdouts.

Wall Street Journal Piece Brings Up Questions… And We Answer

Stephen Wilmot’s recent article in the Wall Street Journal, “Investors Look for an EV Charge,” debates the merits of investing in EV infrastructure, admitting that while chargers likely make for better investments than cars, the sector still holds many potential pitfalls that should be considered before jumping in. While that may be true, many of the examples backing up this assertion cite the business models of the largest EV installers in the country while failing to consider what less visible but faster-growing companies like EVCS are doing to mitigate such risks. Below are a few quotes from the article and our thoughts on them, including how we’re different.

Commentary on EV Industry Profitability Claims

In a recent Driving.ca article titled “EV-Charging Industry is Doing Everything Except Making Money,” author David R. Baker makes a compelling argument that the EV infrastructure sector is a revenue desert, essentially incapable of generating enough cash flow to sustain profitability due to a lack of interest from motorists. “The dilemma boils down to demand,” he states, before adding that “lots of people still driving gasoline-powered cars won’t consider going electric until they see charging stations widely deployed.”

Installation of the Month (May 2021): LADOT Lot 656

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) notes on its website that ICE vehicles are one of the city’s top contributors to air pollution, accounting for 19% of all greenhouse gas emissions, before proclaiming, “We can do better… We’re investing in public transit, testing new technology, and adopting mobility innovations for a cleaner environment and brighter future.” At first, it might just sound like flowery rhetoric, but we can personally attest to that commitment. Starting in 2019, LADOT partnered with us to install DCFCs at 57 city-owned lots, with almost 30% of those installations now completed. This alliance has been integral in promoting our goal of zero-emission mobility in the City of Angels by facilitating greater access to infrastructure.

Addressing Pain Points in Creating EV Infrastructure

A recent GovTech.com article titled “How Biden Plans to Build 500 EV Charging Stations” discusses the President’s goals for creating a nationwide network of 500,000 such installations by 2030. While it does a smart job laying out many of the pain points we face in facilitating EV adoption, the mention of solutions was far less prevalent, and ones that were mentioned seemed speculative or tenuous. However, over the last three years, EVCS has already taken the lead in addressing many of these challenge areas, allowing us to dominate the installation market across the West Coast.
