Electric vehicles, or EVs, have undoubtedly emerged as a sustainable travel option over the years. Not only are EVs known to provide better performance, but they are also much more environmentally friendly, offer lower maintenance, and can save you a bundle of cash as they do not rely on expensive gasoline. By charging an EV, drivers spend an average of $0.10 per kW, equivalent to less than $1.00 per gallon of gas. Obviously, with so much convenience, there is bound to be a drawback, and in the case of charging your EV, that drawback is time. This is where GreenJuice has stepped in with an innovative solution to eliminate time from the EV charging spectrum in its entirety!
With current technology in the EV charging sector, locating a Level 3 charger is the fastest way to charge your car. With a Level 3 charger, you can charge your EV in about 30-40 minutes. However, adding the time it takes to drive there, wait in line, and charge your car can add up to nearly two hours! GreenJuice has conceived a vision that eliminates these ridiculous times by bringing the charging directly to the user city-wide. With genuine innovation, GreenJuice strives to achieve Level 2 EV charger accessibility where users do not have to go out of their way to charge their EV. Of course, this does not mean installing invasive charging stations at the mouth of your driveway. What this does entail, however, is bringing charging stations to places where you already need to go to complete any of your many daily tasks.
Whether you need to go to the grocery store, barbershop, gym, place of employment, hotel, or even right outside your apartment complex, GreenJuice aims to give you access to charge your EV quickly. Time is invaluable, and the industry average charging station uptime is approximately 90%. Incredibly, GreenJuice has effectively achieved an uptime of 99.985% over the past six months! This difference means EV drivers can confidently arrive at a GreenJuice station near them anytime. Nevertheless, GreenJuice can only install charging stations where they want with the property owner’s consent, and property owners certainly have some questions. For each question, however, GreenJuice is proud to provide insightful solutions.
Micro and macro variables must be considered when successfully implementing an EV charging solution. Regarding macro variables, GreenJuice considers how much time people spend at specific establishments, the number of EV drivers in the area, and the amount of available government/state funding. The micro variables include the business itself. GreenJuice works with business owners to look at situations such as how much power their existing electrical grid has for EV chargers and the closest parking spaces to the power supply source.
By answering these questions, GreenJuice can determine the most cost-effective solutions possible. However, they don’t stop there. GreenJuice believes in ongoing client relationships and aims to assist with marketing strategies to attract EV drivers to the businesses they partner with, as well as enacting other cost-free marketing, such as including coupon codes via their app to entice drivers to visit a business. The founders of GreenJuice, Christian Trippler and David Casey, are natural problem-finders and are therefore positioned at the forefront of innovative solutions. Their goal to place EV chargers in locations that don’t cause forced behavior patterns, chewing up your valuable time, has GreenJuice poised to better the EV charging market.
