Greentech Lead America: OpConnect, a provider of electric
vehicle charging station technology, announced that its North American
distributor Go EV has received an order of $60,000 from the Department of the
Navy for The OpConnect dual Level I & II units.
The OpConnect dual Level I & II units are capable of
charging four vehicles at the same time. The charging units will be installed
at Navy facilities in Washington, DC; Indian Head, MD and San Diego, CA. These
charging stations will be powered by OpConnect’s EV Charging Network and will
be used by service personnel as part of a pilot program for electric vehicle
readiness in Navy facilities.
“As veteran-owned businesses, we take pleasure in
supplying our product and services to our military. Naval stations have
some unique requirements for durability and network security and I am glad that
our charging stations met them,” said Dexter Turner, president, OpConnect.
The OpConnect system allows owners to restrict
access via custom, credit, fleet or debit cards. The system’s
over-the-wire firmware upgrade capability allows the units to be field
configured remotely, providing for a very flexible, extensible solution for
large customers with complex needs.Â
“The OpConnect system is robust, flexible and an excellent
value. We are delighted to provide this compelling solution to this
important customer,” said Mike Dixon, president of Go EV.
Recently, OpConnect signed
an agreement to connect Shorepower’s Level II electric vehicle charging
stations to OpConnect’s Electric Vehicle Charging Network.
