In addition to installing WAVE's wireless charging system, Ideanomics Energy will manage all construction related to deploying the depot charging systems.
WAVE CEO Aaron Gillmore discusses the recent acquisition by Ideanomics and how the company is looking to fine-tune its products, as well as potential growth markets for both wireless charging and the company itself.
The contract includes the option for BC Transit to acquire additional electric transit buses and EV chargers from Proterra as the agency seeks to replace 500 buses with electric vehicles over the next decade.
The two WAVE 250kW systems will be installed at the Mellen Street e-Transit Station and will power new Gillig battery-electric buses scheduled to arrive in 2023.
The agency will be installing the Schunk SLS 301 series Depot Charging Pantograph, which offers a quicker and safer hands-free electric vehicle charge.
Provided by EVUnited and installed at SARTA’s Belden Village Transit Center by Thompson Electric of Munroe Falls, Ohio, there is no charge for using the station, which is capable of charging two vehicles at a time in four to five hours.
The chargers and associated infrastructure upgrades represent the next step in NJ TRANSIT’s goal of transitioning to a 100% zero-emissions bus fleet by 2040.
Two experienced fleet managers walk through the long lists and many months of procedures needed to connect electric vehicles to the best power sources.
For managers of large corporate fleets looking to electrify, these internal practices must be followed before spending capital and setting up operations.
The charging station delivers up to 11.5 kW of AC power to the vehicle’s onboard charger and features a weather resistant enclosure for indoor and outdoor installation applications.
