Seattle — Accelerating the pace of electric vehicle charging, Electric Era, an end-to-end EV charging solution partner, has entered into an EV fast-charging station deployment with fellow Washington state native Costco Wholesale Corporation. The partnership sets an industry-leading pace with just 7 weeks between contract signature to station launch.
As EV charging rapidly becomes an essential business objective for retailers, Costco faced a critical challenge: while industry-standard EV infrastructure projects typically take years, the retailer needed a rapid deployment solution for its new Ridgefield, Wash., store that could meet local requirements, tight deadlines and high standards for member experience — all without delaying the scheduled opening of the new warehouse.
The retailer contacted Electric Era to see if its patented technology and 6X quicker deployment speed could meet the new store’s local charging infrastructure requirements.
Understanding the challenge, Electric Era’s team streamlined and managed the entire process and delivered a comprehensive end-to-end EV charging solution in just 7 weeks. This deployment pace demonstrates the company’s agility to meet urgent business needs without compromising on quality, reliability or brand alignment, as well as integrated software that can manage energy costs effectively.
“With our unique, patented software we address the reliability challenges that are faced by other traditional EV chargers. Electric Era directly addresses Costco’s demands for rapid charging station installation and a customer experience that furthers their retail experience and value,” says Quincy Lee, CEO of Electric Era. “This installation exemplifies how Electric Era delivers on unsurpassed deployment and install speed, ultimately providing Costco a fast-charging solution to meet its growing members’ needs.”
The project’s urgency underscores a significant shift: EV charging is no longer a novelty but an essential business objective, driven by increasing mandates across the country.
Electric Era is a leading EV charging station company on a mission to decarbonize and electrify transportation by powering all of EV charging. The company focuses on delivering innovative, reliable and retail-centric charging solutions that enhance both the driver experience and retailer operations.
