Accelerating the pace of electric vehicle charging, Electric Era, an end-to-end EV charging solution partner, announces its EV fast-charging station deployment with fellow Washington state native Costco Wholesale Corporation - and sets an industry-leading pace with just seven 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 their new Ridgefield, Wash. store that could meet local requirements, tight deadlines, and high standards for member experience—all without delaying the scheduled opening of their new warehouse.
The retailer contacted Electric Era to see if their patented technology and six-times 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 an industry-leading seven-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.
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.
