This project originally specified 10 EV charging stations with a competitor, however after learning about Orange's unique and affordable approach they were able to cover all 100 parking spaces with EV charging for nearly the exact same cost.
EV charging stations in apartment complexes offer property owners increased value, attract eco-conscious tenants, and foster sustainability. Tenants benefit from convenience and reduced range anxiety. It promotes a greener environment and enhances tenant satisfaction.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) slower has numerous benefits. It improves battery health, increases charging efficiency, reduces strain on the grid, saves costs, and enhances environmental sustainability. Embrace patience for a greener tomorrow.
Limited charging infrastructure at multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) hinders EV adoption. While public charging is promoted, 86-90% of charging occurs at home. Orange addresses panel limitations by using lower-power 20 amp chargers, allowing more residents access to affordable charging and reducing installation costs by 70%.
Orange's receptacle-based system provides a neutral solution in the NACS vs. CCS EV charging standard debate. By utilizing a universal socket, EV owners can charge their vehicles regardless of the standard they prefer. This approach offers flexibility, compatibility, future-proofing, and encourages market competition and innovation. Embracing a receptacle-based system creates an inclusive and efficient charging infrastructure for all EV owners.
The Tesla Model Y's position as the best-selling car globally has sparked a transformation in the apartment industry, specifically regarding the installation of EV charging stations. As electric vehicle adoption grows, there is a rising demand for charging infrastructure in residential communities.
The integration of EV charging in apartment communities faces hurdles such as high costs, limited space, complex ownership, regulations, and uncertain ROI. Orange was built from the ground up to solve all of these issues, but how exactly did we do it?
If you're looking to save on costs and contribute to a healthier environment, the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit may be of interest to you.

California's aggressive climate change policies and incentives for electric vehicles have led to a significant decrease in gasoline usage in the state, with an estimated reduction of 4 billion gallons of gas per year. The adoption of EVs has numerous environmental benefits and can help California meet its climate change goals. However, there are still challenges, such as the need for further investment in charging infrastructure for apartments. Overall, the shift towards EVs in California is a promising development toward a more sustainable future.
With the new EPA rules pushing automakers to cut their emissions, the EV industry is set to hit 60% of the total auto market by 2030. While this is great news for the industry and Americans health there is still a long way to go before we can see EVs at such a massive scale.
A lack of charging infrastructure is a major barrier to the widespread adoption EVs. This is particularly true for multifamily housing and disadvantaged communities, where the installation of EV charging stations can be costly and challenging. To encourage the adoption of EVs in these areas, electric vehicle charging incentive programs need to cover lower-power Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations.
Lower power chargers are the future of EV charging at apartments! With their ability to efficiently utilize existing electrical infrastructure, they make EV charging accessible for everyone, without costly upgrades. It's a win-win for sustainability and convenience
For all intents and purposes, Orange Outlets are the complete charging solution for apartments and condos. They install for upwards of 70% less, can generate an average of 150% ROI, have a payback period of fewer than 7 years, can install in almost any situation (garage, carport, outdoor lot, etc.), take up virtually no wall space, and will last AT LEAST a decade!
