RIDGEWOOD, N.J.--()--Scale Microgrids (“Scale”), a vertically integrated distributed energy company, has signed a non-exclusive partnership agreement with EO Charging (“EO”). Under this agreement, the companies will jointly pursue opportunities to provide electric vehicle (“EV”) fleets with rapidly-deployable charging solutions that feature ultra-reliable charging equipment powered by resilient, low-cost on-site energy systems called microgrids.

EO has nearly a decade of experience providing EV charging infrastructure for customers in the UK and Europe, including charging for over 25 million public EV bus miles for London’s transit fleets. The company is now growing its presence in the United States, promising to provide over 99% uptime to transit, school bus, and commercial fleets. Scale, as a leading American vertically-integrated distributed energy company with a proven track record of building microgrids for EV trucking and transit fleets, will enable a holistic charging solution by integrating EO’s charging infrastructure with up to 100% resilient on-site energy systems including solar, batteries, dispatchable generation, and advanced controls.

Together, the two companies will help trucking and transit fleets accelerate their electrification initiatives by enabling them to avoid wait times for utility service upgrades, reduce operating costs with optimized charging and energy management, and ensure maximum uptime with a combination of unsurpassed charger availability and electricity supply resilience.

“Fleet operators cite electricity supply as a major concern for their transition to EVs. This sentiment stems from roadblocks associated with utility capacity upgrade timelines, cost of ownership and fueling, and risks associated with charging station downtime,” said John Walsh, President of EO Charging, Americas. “By partnering with Scale, we’ll be able to offer our customers a complete fleet electrification solution that gets their vehicles charging sooner, at lower cost, and with unprecedented reliability.”

“We’re excited to partner with a charging provider with EO’s track record of execution and performance,” said Chris Cantone, Chief Revenue Officer at Scale. “The proven reliability of their charging hardware is incredibly important to fleets, and the combination of their sophisticated charging management system and our advanced microgrid controls will deliver truly cutting-edge eMobility solutions for our customers.”

The two companies will provide turnkey charging solutions for fleets across the country, focusing on regions where customers face grid capacity constraints and high utility demand charges. EO will be responsible for depot design and installation of charging equipment, integration with its EO Cloud charge management software, and 24/7/365 O&M with a 99% uptime guarantee. Scale will be responsible for the design and installation of on-site distributed energy infrastructure, energy management and optimization, and the provision of project financing.
