New Jersey-based developer Scale Microgrids is going to partner with British EV infrastructure firm EO Charging to build out charging stations to meet future demands of fleet electrification in the U.S.
The non-exclusive partnership agreement will utilize Scale’s ability to provide on-site power resources and microgrids to facilitate EO Charging’s stations, which are to be built across the country. Both companies are free to pursue similar partnerships with other companies in the sector.
In Europe, EO Charging has developed charging stations for many of London’s transit fleets. Those electric public buses have totaled more than 25 million miles in emission-free routes, according to the company.
“Fleet operators cite electricity supply as a major concern for their transition to EVs,” John Walsh, president of EO Charging, Americas, said in a statement. “By partnering with Scale, we’ll be able to offer our customers a complete fleet electrification solution that gets their vehicles charging sooner, at a lower cost and with unprecedented reliability.”
Scale will develop microgrid planning and control technologies to balance the power generation, storage and charging capabilities. The company also will lead work on the project financing side.
