By leveraging L-Charge’s rapid-deployment Charge-as-a-Service (CaaS) model, Alto is expanding its EV fleet in Dallas, TX and Los Angeles, CA without upfront hardware costs or dependence on existing utility infrastructure.
L-Charge was created to address the limitations of traditional grid infrastructure on the electrification of mobility, particularly in urban centers. By harnessing clean fuels including natural gas, renewable natural gas (RNG), and hydrogen, L-Charge offers customers a unique, transformative, turnkey solution for off-grid EV charging.
L-Charge’s charging stations are prepared for immediate deployment to any location, ensuring a swift setup without the constraints of construction timelines or grid connectivity.
“No matter how remote the location, as long as a customer has access to an 8.5-foot by 30-foot space to park a trailer, they can take advantage of an L-Charge EV charging station in a matter of hours,” says Dmitry Lashin, CEO of L-Charge. “Our operatives roll up with a trailer carrying a battery pack and a natural gas-powered generator. We can deliver our trailer with a virtual pipeline, or we can hook it up to our client’s natural gas pipeline.
“Once the trailer is parked and secured, and the generator fuelled, the system is good to go. All the customer has to do is press a button, and they can start charging electric vehicles straight away. It’s as simple as that.”
The L-Charge EV charging solution can be tailored and scaled to meet customers’ specific and evolving needs. Each single 180kW charger is equipped with two charging guns. The system can be configured to enable both guns to provide 90kW simultaneously, or for one gun to dispense ultra-fast 180kW charging.
The L-Charge system can generate 4.32MW of energy in 24 hours to meet the constant demand for large charging volumes of EVs required by taxi fleets, delivery services, or heavy trucks with large batteries. Customers can add as many charging station trailers as they require. For example, two 180kW trailers can power four guns at 90kW, two at 180kW, or one at 360kW.
The L-Charge trailers offer customers complete flexibility and can be swiftly and easily removed when a permanent grid-connection is achieved, and the trailers are no longer required. They can also be moved easily to new locations to support customers’ EV charging expansion strategies.
Lashin added: “We are excited to support Alto’s vision of a fully electric, luxury ride-sharing service. Our off-grid solutions are designed to meet the unique challenges of scaling EV infrastructure quickly and sustainably, making us a perfect partner for Alto’s ambitious growth plans.”
Will Coleman, CEO of Alto, commented: “L-Charge’s solution has been a game-changer for us financially. By eliminating upfront costs, we’ve redirected funds to rapidly expand our fleet and meet growing demand.”
