Fast-Tracking EV Adoption for Fleets

Challenges for e-Fleets

The evolution to e-Fleets is occurring rapidly but not without its challenges. Three critical issues need to be considered and addressed before transitioning to an e-Fleet.

1. What if an e-van or e-truck runs out of power while on the road?

2. What if there is a blackout on the grid due to an overtaxed power grid or extreme weather?

3. How can EV charging infrastructure be installed without waiting 2 years for permitting, approvals, and installation?

e-Trucks and e-Vans need to be able to be charged while loading and unloading as well as on delivery routes. Mobile DCFC charging enables vehicles to be charged wherever they are. Less time spent at recharging stations means more time for transporting goods. Remote routes that lack EV charging infrastructure or grid stability will benefit from an instant off-grid EV charging solution.An off-grid EV pop-up charging station can be placed wherever it’s needed as business dictates.

The Grid in Increasingly Unstable

Expert agree the increased demand will stress the grid. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average outage time of the grid doubled in the last five years. Adding one EV is the equivalent of adding a house to the electrical system. One DCFC can draw the equivalent of a whole neighborhood’s electricity needs all at once. This will affect utility rates around peak demand and can create excessive demand charges for site hosts.

In addition to mobile EV charging, e-Boost provides a reliable, back-up power in the event of an outage, with outlets and connectors that enable continuous service.

Avoid Infrastructure Delays with a Green Solution TODAY!

The typical permitting for EV infrastructure, when there is enough power at a location, is a minimum of six and a half months. If service to a site is inadequate, the addition of more transformers to deliver extra power, can take as long as two years.

e-Boost can fast-track EV adoption. Once a permanent, grid connected, infrastructure is installed, the e-Boost can be used as a backup, resilient and off-grid asset.

Pathway to Net-Zero

Moreover, e-Boost units are refueled by local Propane suppliers. Propane is one of the cleanest fuels available, offering the lowest in carbon emissions per million BTUs according to the EIA. It does not contaminate the soil or groundwater because it’s non-toxic and non-poisonous. Propane’s environmentally friendly benefits don’t end there. It is a pathway to net-zero emissions with the inclusion of commercial scale renewable Liquid Propane Gas (rLPG) and renewable Dimethyl Ether (rDME) expected in 2022.

Servicing of Units

Charging networks haven’t had the best record for operational maintenance. Charging stations are serviced by their owners, and some simply provide better service contracts than others. e-Boost units are serviced by Pioneer’s Critical Power Group, which has been servicing power generation assets for three decades with a nationwide network.

e-Boost is a product of Pioneer eMobility, a division of Pioneer Power Solutions (NASDAQ: PPSI), experienced providers of off-grid resiliency solutions like distributed power and backup power generation assets throughout the USA. All e-Boost units provide backup power and connectivity in the event of outages.
