Pursuing LEED Certification? Add EV Charging to Your Design Plans!

Did you know that adding EV charging stations to your building project can earn LEED certification points from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)?

Voltrek Performs Turnkey Project at Munters Corporation

Thanks to sustainability-driven upgrades at the Munters Corporation campus in Amesbury, Massachusetts, 400+ employees now have access to five new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

Voltrek spearheaded the entire private installation, from design to managing the build-out of the dual-port ChargePoint terminals, which can charge up to 10 vehicles at any given time.

Additionally, Voltrek helped the client secure grants from the state as well as National Grid’s “make-ready” EV program, saving tens of thousands of dollars in upfront costs. In a recent interview with The Daily News, company spokespersons from Munters likened these incentives to winning the lottery. 😉

Salem State University Adds Six New ChargePoint Stations

Just in time for the fall semester, Salem State University in Massachusetts has added six new dual-port electric vehicle (EV) charging stations!

Conveniently located right in front of the O'Keefe Center, the new ChargePoint stations serve 12 parking spots. This latest EV charger installation by Voltrek has almost tripled the on-campus EV charging capacity, with a total of 19 parking spots now available to university students, faculty and staff.

In addition to overseeing design and installation of the new charging stations, Voltrek assisted Salem State University with securing project funding from National Grid and the Massachusetts Dept. of Environmental Protection. As a result, the university paid less than 3% of the project costs—savings which get passed along to students! Voltrek, one of the nation’s trailblazers in EV charging solutions, is also National Grid's lead contractor for EV infrastructure projects.
