Merchants Fleet, a fleet management company, ordered two trailer mounted e-Boost solutions to be integrated into its Fleet EV charging offering.
The Merchants Fleet EV charging portfolio includes the Merchants 'Mini', a 30kW direct-current fast charger (DCFC) on a small trailer that manoeuvres around swiftly to get EVs charged up quickly for a fleet with their first few EVs. It also includes the Merchants 'Flex', a dual Level 3 / Level 2 EV charging solution that provides either a 60kW DCFC for quick charging boosts or four Level 2 high-capacity chargers for efficient overnight charging, perfect for the fleet transitioning to its first sets of EVs.
As part of its solutions, Merchants Fleet has selected e-Boost because it provides an off-grid, mobile, DCFC with built-in resiliency that is sustainably powered using a green, propane-fuelled generator, and securely integrated with 24/7 monitoring on a solar-powered battery storage system. These pilot units serve as benchmark products for Merchants Fleet's larger charging programme.
In addition, an existing customer of Pioneer Power ordered two additional skid-mounted e-Boost systems to rapidly charge new medium-duty EV trucks. The customer is a major manufacturer of commercial trucks, engines, buses, advanced connectivity services and related aftermarket parts, and this purchase adds to its existing fleet of e-Boost solutions, validating the quality and effectiveness of the e-Boost solution.
"Our innovative e-Boost solution continues to gain new customers for a wide-range of use-cases, reinforcing our confidence that e-Boost revenue will double in 2023, becoming an increasingly important contributor to our consolidated results,” said Nathan Mazurek, Pioneer's chairman and CEO.
“Existing customers who made small, evaluative purchases are coming back to order additional units, and new customers are being added to our roster. Our e-Boost solution jumpstarts the deployment of the EV charging infrastructure, as e-Boost can be deployed immediately, without any utility connections or approvals, facilitating and accelerating the adoption of EV vehicles, trucks, vans and buses."
