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 ownership has a lot of perks. Lower fuel and maintenance costs, carpool lane access (in some states), preferred parking at shopping centers, cutting down on your overall carbon footprint, and being able to "fill up" at home (having a charger at home means one less errand to run). However, if you're one of the 75 million Americans living in an apartment or condo there are a few things you'll need to do in order to ensure you get EV charging at home easily and affordably.
Electric Vehicles are here to stay, however, while these cars have found a permanent place in our society many questions still linger on how we are going to achieve widespread adoption of these vehicles. The common talking point among many is that more public charging is needed, but in reality, we need to rethink how our vehicles should fuel up to begin with.
As more decide to switch to EVs there is a growing need for charging stations. However, what options individuals have and what is the best option are not always clear. Furthermore, how much each driver can save by switching is also fairly dependent on the situation.
Electric cars are becoming more mainstream with every passing day. However, while this might be an exciting prospect, it creates problems. The primary issue with electric cars is that everyone has an opinion of how they work, but many of those opinions, especially around charging, are uninformed.
Newly announced fuel efficiency standards will push vehicle miles per gallon to an average of 49, saving consumers money at the pump, reducing transportation emissions, and are a huge boon for the Electric Vehicle industry.
A list of 2022's fully electric vehicles we at Orange are excited to get our hands on and see more people driving as production ramps up and more options enter the market next year.
Orange was created to build a charging network at multi-unit properties, after seeing firsthand how challenging owning an electric vehicle was without home charging access and living in an apartment.
For the first time in decades, air pollution has drastically decreased as about 80% of all travel has stopped. Imagine a future after COVID-19 where air quality levels remain the same as they are now, even with complete economic development and growth.
