Durham, NC – National Car Charging (NCC), an independent electric vehicle (EV) charging station reseller and installer based in the US, has selected Kempower charging satellites as it’s solution to execute an exclusive project providing DC fast charging infrastructure across the State of California. This week NCC announced that they have been exclusively awarded a multi-year charging station procurement contract for non-networked DC fast charging infrastructure with the State of California through the California Department of General Services (DGS).
The California Legislature recently appropriated general funds to DGS Office of Sustainability (OS) to support the multi-year installation project for EV charging infrastructure. Having long led the country in EV adoption, California accelerated their build out of the state’s clean energy infrastructure in 2022 in an effort to achieve their world-leading climate goals of having net-zero carbon emissions and 100% clean electricity by 2045.
To accelerate this transition and help reach the goal to install 250,000 chargers, the state is investing over $10 billion for zero-emission cars, trucks, buses and infrastructure as part of the historic $52-plus billion California Climate Commitment.
“At NCC, we offer a vast portfolio of highly-vetted products; however, we chose Kempower for California because of their quality, small footprint and modularity,” shared Jim Burness, CEO and founder of National Car Charging.
“Kempower’s chargers are also ideal for California because of their unprecedented uptime and their ability to withstand the climate extremes. Their products are extremely versatile and can charge a wide variety of vehicles including cars, medium and heavy trucks, school and transit buses, heavy equipment, emergency vehicles, watercraft and more.”
"With precision accuracy, high-efficiency power delivery, and full circle technical support, Kempower chargers offer unprecedented reliability and flexibility," said Tim Joyce, president of Kempower North America. "Wherever your journey may take you, we're thrilled to say that Kempower's innovative technology ensures a hassle-free charging experience. The future of EV charging is now here across California and beyond!"
Kempower announces all significant orders separately via company release to the markets without delay.
