In many instances, schools or operators, underestimate the cost and value of infrastructure. This can lead to a less than optimal deployment that can result in significant additional costs as the electric fleet expands. With our First Charge technology from First Student, we can offer a cost effective solution that can easily expand as required. Our unique design eliminates the most cost prohibitive elements of an infrastructure deployment with a customized design specific to your needs. Given the budgetary constraints and reduced funding many school experience, a First Charge deployment can result in significant savings that can be applied to other areas of student education.
🔌⚡ We are excited to announce the launch of a first-of-its-kind electric vehicle charging solution, First Charge. First Charge is an above-ground, trenchless charging infrastructure solution that enables a more efficient deployment of electric vehicles. 🔋 🚌 First Charge is designed to simplify the electrification process for all school districts, eliminating the need for time-intensive and cost-prohibitive trenching, even in cold weather climates. First Charge is also capable of supporting other last mile services for medium and heavy-duty electric vehicles such as dump trucks, garbage trucks and even postal/delivery vehicles. “Over and over again, school districts tell us they have had to abandon rebates and funds available to them because charging infrastructure was too costly, complex or time intensive,” First Student's Head of Electrification Kevin Matthews said. “We designed First Charge to solve that problem. It is the first truly drop-and-go infrastructure solution. First Charge allows districts to spend their time and money on operations, student safety and other essential tasks while staying compliant with state or federal electrification mandates. It also rapidly advances electrification to take advantage of the health and safety benefits that electric school buses provide to students and communities.” Read the full release on our website: https://lnkd.in/gmbBcZET
