Voltera, a company that develops and operates electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities for EV fleets, announced a strategic partnership on Jan. 10 with EV fleet maintenance provider Amerit Fleet Solutions.
This nationwide partnership will provide comprehensive mobile fleet maintenance support onsite at EV charging sites that Voltera builds for its clients.
Voltera’s partnership with Amerit Fleet Solutions includes inspections, maintenance, and technical support, performed on location as vehicles are charging in Voltera’s charging sites nationwide. This is one of many amenities and services that can be added as Voltera builds EV infrastructure for its clients, helping to minimize fleet downtime and improve fleet operations
Amerit’s EV technician program ensures technicians have undergone extensive training and are certified to perform necessary maintenance and repair on the newest electric vehicles across a broad range of OEMs. Specially trained technicians are essential for EVs, which have different safety, inspection, and maintenance requirements than traditional vehicles. Fleet operators can gain increased uptime, safety and reliability when such a service is packaged as part of the charging facility.
“Voltera is not just deploying charging; we are managing operations on behalf of our customers which includes bringing strategic partners to the table, like Amerit, to maximize vehicle availability,” said Matt Horton, CEO of Voltera, in a news release.
Dan Williams, CEO of Amerit Fleet Solutions, added, “We will simplify the maintenance and support of electric fleet vehicles by bringing comprehensive services directly to their charging depots. This alleviates the burden and complexity of maintaining these complex vehicles and ensures maximum uptime.”
Voltera enables businesses to rapidly scale EV fleets, without investing significant time and upfront capital on EV chargers, hardware, and related infrastructure. Voltera manages site selection, site acquisition, power procurement, facility design and construction, charging hardware and software deployment, operations, and maintenance.
The company provides EV charging facilities as a service, shouldering the capital investment expense so customers can instead focus capital on their operations. Voltera is on track to fund construction and operation of billions of dollars of EV charging facilities serving many types of businesses, including the drayage, regional haul, short haul, last mile delivery, ride hailing, and autonomous transportation sectors.
