The City of South Fulton took a step towards sustainability with the launch of its Electric Vehicle Initiative, unveiled in an event at the City of South Fulton Administration Building.

The initiative featured a cutting-edge fleet of electric vehicles, including one electric cargo van, seven Ford Mach-E’s, and three Ford F-150 Lightenings. With plans to expand the fleet with 17 additional electric vehicles during fiscal year 2025, the City of South Fulton is demonstrating its commitment to eco-sustainability and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

Mayor khalid, City Manager Sharon D. Subadan, and City Council members Jaceey Sebastian, Helen Zenobia Willis, and Keosha B. Bell, highlighted the initiative’s importance in promoting clean energy and public health. The City of South Fulton’s move to electrify a portion of its municipal fleet spotlights its dedication to reducing carbon emissions and embracing innovative technology for a greener future.

The newly installed charging stations at the Southwest Arts Center and the City of South Fulton Administration Building, equipped with several charging ports, ensure that the fleet remains fully operational for uninterrupted community service. Over the next few years, the city plans to expand this infrastructure to eight locations, providing even greater accessibility for staff and the public.

Looking ahead, the City of South Fulton aims to procure an additional 17 electric vehicles and 15 hybrid vehicles within the next year, further contributing to a cleaner environment.

The City of South Fulton Electric Vehicle Initiative aligns with broader goals of environmental sustainability and improved air quality, which research shows can lead to significant public health benefits. By investing in zero-emission vehicles and extensive charging infrastructure, the City of South Fulton is setting a powerful example of environmental responsibility and innovation.

The city’s long-term vision includes supporting more municipal functions with electric vehicles – enhancing its role as a leader in sustainable practices.

In-Charge Energy To Support GM’s New Ultium 360 Fleet Charging Service

July 15, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

In-Charge Energy is a Preferred Provider in the Newly-Launched Fleet Charging Service

In-Charge Energy, the industry leader in turnkey commercial fleet EV infrastructure solutions, has been named a preferred provider for the Ultium Charge 360’s fleet service, General Motors Company’s newly-announced fleet charging solution.

“Electrifying fleets play a key role in GM’s vision to get ‘Everybody In’ on an all-electric future. GM is working with In-Charge to support fleet customers as they move toward an electric vehicle line up,” said Alex Keros, Lead Architect, EV Infrastructure, General Motors. “Our collaborative approach to helping fleets go electric will streamline implementation while building charging infrastructure that fits their unique, ongoing electrification needs.”

GM fleet and BrightDrop customers will be able to access In-Charge for support with their infrastructure needs. Given the high demand for EV charging infrastructure in the U.S., many utilities are dealing with long queues to upgrade facilities. As a result, the charging equipment necessary for fleet vehicles may face longer timelines than vehicle deliveries.

“With these challenges, it is very important to work with an infrastructure partner early,” said Terry O’Day, COO of In-Charge Energy. “GM understands this dynamic, as well as anyone in the EV industry and this announced relationship, reflects the need to move vehicle and infrastructure decisions forward concurrently.”

As a part of Ultium Charge 360’s fleet service, In-Charge Energy will be available to provide infrastructure support for GM fleet and BrightDrop customers. This includes fleet and facility planning, engineering and design, utility interconnection, construction management, hardware and software selection and supply, final installation and commissioning, monitoring, maintenance, repair, reporting and finance.

In-Charge uses its own field technicians to directly perform many of these services. In-Charge Energy also produces a suite of hardware products that pair with products from ABB, Delta, Juicebar, Siemens and others charger manufacturers to provide the right configuration for every fleet. Having the right infrastructure installed keeps operating costs low for fleets, allows for upgrades over time and ensures different types of vehicles operate on a single platform.
