The Problem This Solution Solves
With rapidly increasing numbers of EVs and ownership models both for government fleet and personal vehicles, there is a growing need to proliferate fast charging within DoD and on military installations beyond Level 2 chargers and various styles of recovering charging infrastructure costs through services with all-inclusive and predictable support prepaid.
The Solution
Leidos successfully implemented 6 Level 2 Chargers with 12 ports delivering 36.8 kW of power per station at its Plant 42 Hubs, and, 39 Level 2 Chargers with 78 ports plus 2 Level 3 Chargers with 2 Ports delivering between 18.4 and 184 kW Max Level rate of power at its 14 Fairchild AFB Hubs, and, 32 Level 2 Chargers with 64 ports plus 2 Level 3 Chargers with 2 Ports delivering between 18.4 and 110.4 kW Max Level rate of power at its 14 Dover AFB Hubs. This achieved Air Force's combined Policy, Business Model and Technology criteria by demonstrating a turn-key solution integrating system-level planning, engineering design, “Make ready” civil/electrical construction, EVSE configuration and installation, digital interfaces, cybersecurity, site commissioning, operations and maintenance (O&M), and a budget-neutral business model aligning equipment lifespan to a depreciation schedule. The combined effect of these features resulted in both innovative operational assurance and a cost efficient solution at multiple completed hubs.
