HMC, the largest military housing owner, offers unsurpassed quality and service to more than 165,000 residents in approximately 52,000 homes across the USA on Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Army, and Space Force installations.
The pilot program will involve providing Level-2 charging at four military bases in anticipation of rising demand for Level-2 fast-charging from residents in military housing communities. Initial pilot locations include Barksdale Air Force Base (Shreveport, LA), Fort Sam Houston (San Antonio, TX), Joint Base Pearl-Harbor Hickam (Honolulu, HI), and Marine Corps Base Hawaii (Kailua, HI). This contract positions HMC as one of the pioneering military housing operators in the US by offering a comprehensive residential EV charging solution that demonstrates HMC's forward-thinking approach to creating a sustainability-focused infrastructure.
Brian Stann, president, and CEO of HMC, emphasised the growing need for EV chargers among residents, stating, "Resident demand for EV chargers is on the rise, and this initiative with TROES will help deliver an enhanced living experience for our military families while future-proofing our communities."
Residents with EVs will have convenient access to the Level-2 charging ports through the TROES ChargeTime app, which features user-friendly interfaces and streamlined account management through a mobile device. There is no up-front cost to residents for the installation, and TROES offers three monthly subscription package options, allowing residents to select the EV charging plan that best meets their needs.
HMC will evaluate the pilot program to determine its feasibility for future rollout in other military housing communities across the US.
