A Refreshing Win for Massachusetts Transportation System

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

This popular saying fits the recent decision to add more electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Massachusetts by using a portion of the 2017 Volkswagen diesel emissions court settlement. The $4 million earmarked for EV charging infrastructure includes $1.5 million for fast-charging stations, $1.5 million for public-access charging stations and $1 million for workplace and fleet charging stations.

These strategic investments are a refreshing win for our state’s transportation network, don’t you think?

Voltrek Team Installs Ultra-Fast ABB Terra HP Chargers in Jefferson County, New York

The word is out! New York just unveiled its FIRST fast-charging station for electric vehicles in Jefferson County.

The new hub at Watertown's Hilton Garden Inn features Terra HP chargers from ABB. This dynamic-charging solution can be used by any EV and offers lightning-quick speeds—from 175kW up to 350kW, which is more powerful than Tesla’s superchargers! Voltrek lent its design and installation expertise on this milestone project to prime contractor EV Connect.

The Watertown installation belongs to the statewide EVolve NY charging network, part of a New York Power Authority (NYPA) initiative designed to encourage the widespread adoption of EVs. For your reading delight, here's a news release with further details: http://ow.ly/NFrj50CHc7B
