Propane-Powered EV Charging:
A Solution for Electric Fleets
The Challenge:
-
Infrastructure Limitations: Many areas, especially rural ones, lack the necessary power infrastructure to support large-scale EV adoption.
-
Grid Strain: DC fast chargers can strain the grid, leading to potential outages or costly upgrades.
The Propane Solution:
-
Off-Grid Charging: Propane-powered EV chargers provide a reliable, off-grid charging solution.
Charging solutions from Level 2 to 3 with power ranging from 30 kW to 1 mW. -
Faster Deployment: Propane chargers can be deployed quickly, avoiding long wait times for grid upgrades.
-
Cost-Effective: Propane chargers can be more cost-effective than grid-tied solutions, especially in areas with high electricity costs.
-
Backup Power: Propane chargers can serve as backup power sources during grid outages.
Real-World Example:
-
LAUSD: The Los Angeles Unified School District has deployed propane-powered chargers to power its fleet of electric school buses, addressing immediate charging needs while waiting for grid upgrades.
Key Benefits of Propane-Powered EV Chargers:
-
Reliability: Uninterrupted power supply, even during grid outages.
-
Flexibility: Can be deployed in various locations and configurations.
-
Scalability: Can be scaled to meet the needs of growing fleets.
-
Environmental Benefits: Reduced reliance on fossil fuels and lower emissions.
