Playbook 2: Solving Power Procurement Challenges

When it comes to fleets’ electrification at scale, charging infrastructure is the hardest part. And power procurement is a particular challenge. Voltera faces the same challenges a fleet would but we’re uniquely equipped to solve them. And we've been solving them; the Power Procurement Playbook explains how.

Solving the Challenges to Fleet Electrification at Scale

The challenges that affect power procurement for a multi-megawatt EV charging facility are not new; they've always affected large-scale developments that require significant amounts of power.

But for fleets and others new to the process of procuring multi-megawatts of power, understanding these challenges – and planning for them – is critical to success.

Power Infrastructure

“Literally the power infrastructure is the whole problem to solve, the whole bottleneck."

Alex Nicholas
VP of Operations, MHX

EV Deployment Timelines

“The key really is the confluence between vehicle availability and infrastructure. We have to get that right. But there are things you don’t control like utility timelines and funding. It’s a very challenging dance to have to do.”

Drew Cullen
SVP of Fuels & Facility Services, Penske Transportation Solutions

Utility Engagement

“Creative solutions, engaging the right partners is absolutely critical. It will get busier so starting early is even more important. The grid will eventually be challenged once demand rises. Get public stakeholders involved. Scale up the proper way.”
