THE ASK

Mecklenburg Paint and Inovis Energy connected through IREM’s Western North Carolina chapter. With plans to progressively convert their fleet, the immediate challenge was installing eight EV charging stations. However, the utility company had concerns with existing power capacity, and recommended an additional service be added. Undeniably, this would have added more to the cost and timeline that the customer, and Inovis, were comfortable with.

THE SOLUTION

Inovis Energy proposed the Atom Power charging solution – a dynamic system employing a central charging panel with cutting-edge solid-state breakers. Consequently, this solution allows managed power distribution, capping it to a pre-set maximum load. Essentially, a system bypassing the need for additional power sources. Accordingly, Mecklenburg Paint was able to get the number of charging stations suitable for their expected electric fleet size.
