The transition to a sustainable transportation sector is ongoing and keeps moving towards an electrified and non-fossil fuel based industry. From the Federal government there has been an executive order signed by the White House Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, in which it is detailed the importance of the electric vehicle expansion to meet the energy efficiency and sustainability targets of the nation.
According to what is planned in the executive order, by 2025, 50% of all new executive agency passenger vehicles should be zero emission vehicles (i.e electric vehicles). This will involve planning for the appropriate charging infrastructure that can sustain the development of these vehicles. In other words, having an EV charging for federal and state agencies is not only desirable but also encouraged by the Federal Government.
Installing a Level 2 EV charger such as the Cyber Switching CSE1, will allow your agency, municipality or local government building to be in line with Federal Government policies and targets for sustainability while at the same time offering a valuable asset to your local employees who wish do their part for the environment by purchasing an electric vehicle
By 2025, half of new government vehicles would be electric. While these targets are ambitious, they will not stop there as the trend is to completely move the transportation sector to a fully electric-based car industry. This will mean a large influx of new EV fleets that will need multiple charge point sources and none of them will be better than an EV charger right there at the office.
Having a smart Level 2 EV charging station for local governments is an valuable asset that will allow employees to charge their EVs up to 10 times faster than using a Level 1 type charger at home. Moreover, government EV fleets can be monitored for their charging status and charging times can be pre-programmed to make use of the best electricity tariffs available from the utility.
One of the perks of installing a smart EV charging station like the CSE1 at your local government building is that the charger can be configured to operate only with authorized personnel from the agency. This will give local employees a faster and safer way to charge their EVs while at work, maximizing the productivity of the agency or municipality.
