Lightning eMotors (NYSE: ZEV), a leading provider of specialty
commercial electric vehicles for fleets, and ABB (NYSE: ABB), a
leading global technology company that energizes the transformation
of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable
future, today announced a partnership to offer DC fast electric
vehicle chargers for commercial electric fleet vehicles.
The high-output 20 kW to 350 kW DC fast chargers will be
available via Lightning Energy, a division of Colorado-based
Lightning eMotors. Lightning Energy supplies charging solutions to
commercial and government fleets. As a part of the agreement,
Lightning Energy will sell ABB’s DC fast-charging systems under the
Lightning Energy brand. The fully interoperable DC fast chargers,
designed and built by ABB, are equipped with around-the-clock
connectivity to enable comprehensive remote services and
compatibility with every individual fleet charging system.
“In working with ABB, we’re able to offer some of the best EV
charging systems available, which pair extremely well with the DC
fast-charge capabilities of Lightning eMotors’ vehicles,” said
Brandon McNeil, vice president of Lightning Energy. “ABB's chargers
offer the highest reliability in the industry, are supported by a
widespread service network and come equipped with the latest
connectivity capabilities that enable remote services and business
integration. Their technology will be a key piece of our portfolio
as we provide a complete fleet electrification solution to our
customers.”
Lightning Energy offers a full suite of charging solutions for
fleets, including hardware, installation services, back-end
management software, financing options and ongoing support. In
addition, Lightning Energy offers full charging as a service
(CaaS), in which Lightning owns the entire process on behalf of the
end user and provides on-site charging to the customer for a low
monthly fee. By combining the capabilities of Lightning Energy with
its electric vehicles, Lightning eMotors provides a complete
“one-stop shop” fleet electrification solution.
"Commercial fleets must have a seamless experience from vehicle
to charger to meet their financial targets and sustainability
goals," said Bob Stojanovic, director of ABB's e-mobility business
in North America. "By collaborating with experienced companies like
ABB, Lightning eMotors is helping its customers build smart,
scalable fleet electrification programs.”
Lightning Energy’s lineup of chargers includes a full range of
charging technology, up to the highest powers available on the
market today. This ensures customers can pair the optimal charging
solution with the requirements of their fleet.
“Our goal is to simplify fleet electrification as much as
possible by determining the ideal charging approach, in-step with
the fleet selecting and purchasing their electric vehicles,” McNeil
said. “We analyze your fleet charging needs, including number and
type of vehicles, route cycles, opportunity charging and dwell
times, and help you design a complete solution that optimizes your
fleet. We determine the electricity needs at your site, how much
charging hardware you need, and recommend where you should install
charging to maximize uptime.”
ABB partners with vehicle OEMs, charging networks, fleet
operators, and power utilities to accelerate deployment of EVs
across all modes of transportation. Migrating to an electrical
vehicle fleet offers the opportunity to generate significant
operational savings by eliminating fuel costs and reducing vehicle
maintenance costs.
Since entering the e-mobility market in 2010, ABB has sold more
than 400,000 electric vehicle chargers across more than 85 markets
including more than 20,000 DC fast chargers and 380,000 AC
chargers.
