O&R Announces EV Charging Project

O&R continues to accelerate electric vehicle charging infrastructure growth in the Hudson Valley, announcing the largest single application EV charging project in O&R’s service territory.

 

In partnership with Powerup EV Solutions, a leading provider of EV charging solutions for commercial properties, O&R has officially energized 120 Level 2 light-duty chargers at The Gardens at Palisades condominium complex in Pomona.

 

The project was made possible through O&R’s PowerReady Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program, which offers incentives that offset up to 100 percent of the electric infrastructure costs associated with installing Level 2 or direct-current fast chargers (DCFC) for EVs.

 

“The PowerReady program has allowed O&R to support the widespread implementation of EV charging infrastructure throughout our entire service area,” said Brendan Gallagher, O&R E-Mobility clean energy manager, who oversees the company’s PowerReady program. “We are proud to accommodate the charging needs of existing EV owners at The Gardens at Palisades, but to also provide motivation to prospective EV buyers who reside at the complex.”

 

“This project serves as a powerful demonstration of the critical importance of EV charging infrastructure in advancing sustainable transportation,” said Powerup EV Solutions founder and CEO Jake Berdugo. “The request to install EV charges at The Gardens at Palisades rapidly transformed into a successful reality thanks to our collaborative efforts with O&R’s E-Mobility team, who has consistently demonstrated its leadership in green energy and sustainability.”
