Orion Energy ‘lauds’ guidance on federal national EV infrastructure grants

Orion Energy (OESX) Systems lauded last week’s federal guidance directing $5B in public funds to EV charging locations that best provide dependable charging infrastructure. The company observed that the government directive effectively prescribes quality standards already in place for public and private enterprise customers of Orion’s Voltrek division. “Orion/Voltrek welcomes the substance of last week’s guidance by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration governing implementation of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure grant program for alternative fuel infrastructure,” said CEO Sally Washlow. “The federal guidance essentially mirrors the best practices and quality standards that Orion/Voltrek routinely requires in hundreds of its deployments. The Orion/Voltrek installation and maintenance standards have effectively become the nationwide federal standards for EV Charging stations and related infrastructure in the United States.”
