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.
Often people want bigger, faster, and more complex EV charging systems that are capable of replicating the current gas station model, but what if we told you there are two big reasons the charging station you desperately need already exists?
Affordability has been a constant thorn when it comes to EV chargers, many people in apartments and condos want to own an EV but often find that getting charging in their buildings is too expensive, leaving them with few options. However, what if we made charging as affordable as possible?
Orange was designed to be the simplest EV charging product on the market, not just to make it easy to use but also easy to own and maintain. Keeping things simple means lower costs to install and almost no cost to maintain, making Orange the easiest charging station to manage at any property.
So far the majority of public-facing infrastructure has been charging stations, however, more than 80% of all charging is done at home with most homeowners choosing to use an outlet over purchasing and installing an actual charging station. Vehicle charging stations do have their place in the larger EV ecosystem, but in many cases outlets actually make more sense.
Incentives in the EV industry are nothing new, in fact without incentives, the EV industry would probably look a lot different than it does today. However, not all incentives are created equally and if site owners are not careful they can fall into an incentive trap.
Recently, California introduced a new mandate that will ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, but what does this mandate actually do and how long will those changes start to truly take effect?
With the recent announcement that the Inflation Reduction Act has passed in the Senate and will most likely become law, many have zeroed in on a few issues around electric vehicles, namely the still relatively high entry-level costs and that many lack access to affordable charging. This is causing these same people to announce that because everyone doesn't have access right now this plan is objectively unfair and shouldn't be pursued.
Orange works with many buildings, in this case study we walk though how we helped one mid-sized property save thousands on install costs and provide more charging stations to their residents than would have been possible with any other solution.
There are many reasons that people state why they aren't going to make the switch to electric vehicles, but what many people think are major downsides or drawbacks aren't actually as truthful as people think. We decided to look at four of the biggest reasons people say they can't go electric and see if there is any truth to these reasons.
After years of overestimating the market, EV adoption has finally taken off, and the market is growing faster than ever with a new report from Bloomberg is pointing out that once a country hits 5% EV adoption it only accelerates from there, and the United States just passed the ever-important barrier.
