Plug-In Vehicle Solutions Challenges


PropertyManagers Plug-InVehicle Solutions said it plans to capture and grow


the U.S. market in sales and installation of electric vehicle charging units to customers nationwide.The company says that as new electric-powered automobiles, such as the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf, enter the market, consumers need readi- ly accessible charging stations tomeet everyday transport pow- er needs. Adoption of electric vehicles requires consumers to over-


come their concerns about battery life and the need for frequent recharging, the company says. Electric power is readily avail- able, yet easy access to “fill ups” while at work, traveling, run- ning errands, etc., is lacking. This creates new demand for employers and propertymanagers to install charging stations. As the first national distributor to represent multiple U.S.


manufacturers of electric vehicle charging stations, Plug-In Vehicle Solutions provides the knowledge and expertise to assist clients in selecting from an array of charging solutions, based on individual property needs. Using existing data about streets, parking lots and garages,


the company can recommend the most cost effective and prof- itable outcome for its clients.As an added value, it continues to build alliances with solar and wind power business partners.
