PowerRail is suited for a variety of customers seeking to integrate or expand EV charging with minimal impact, cost and logistical complexity.
Examples of key use cases:
1. Organizations Seeking Rapid Deployment
The quick and easy setup of PowerRail meets the needs of organizations that require a fast transition to charging. This is appealing particularly for businesses facing tight deployment timelines or needing to address immediate operational demands.
2. Sites with Limited Electrical Capacity
PowerRail’s smart power sharing technology makes it ideal for locations with limited electrical capacity. It can potentially reduce energy demand, making it possible to support multiple charging stations without needing costly electrical upgrades.
3. Leased Properties
For businesses operating on leased properties, the minimally invasive installation of PowerRail presents a significant advantage. Since it does not require the extensive groundwork of traditional charging stations (e.g., excavation, repaving), PowerRail is an ideal choice for locations where permanent alterations are not feasible or desirable.
PowerRail arrives at a crucial time when businesses are pursuing creative and cost-effective options without compromising operational efficiency.
"PowerRail is not just about charging EVs; it's about doing so in a way that's smart, scalable and sustainable," said Glen Stancil, CEO of Merge Electric Fleet Solutions. "We're excited to offer a solution that not only meets today's needs but also adapts to future demands."
The future of EV charging is here, and it's flexible, easily expandable and more mindful of business needs. PowerRail sets a new standard in the industry, demonstrating that charging and practicality can go hand in hand to propel businesses and environmental goals forward.
