It's Electric Webinar - Curbside EV Charging

NVRC was pleased to host a webinar with It’s Electric (www.itselectric.us/), a curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging company.
A little bit about them:
Millions of drivers don't have access to garages/driveways, and cannot transition to electric vehicles due to the lack of public charging. It's Electric accelerates the adoption of EVs with a scalable and simple Level-2 curbside charging solution, ensuring that every community has access to clean, sustainable transportation options.
Their "behind the meter" approach simplifies the installation process by eliminating the need for utility coordination. Through partnerships with cities nationwide, they manage the installation, operation, and maintenance of chargers -- at no cost to municipalities or building owners. And they are the first in the country to offer EVSE hardware with a detachable cord, keeping streets clutter-free when the charger is not in use.
The presentation from the webinar can be downloaded here: novaregion.org/DocumentCenter/View/14477/Its-Electric-Curbside-EV-Charging-PDF
