Ohio EPA awards grant to EV charger company
December 7, 2022
The Ohio EPA has awarded Universal EV Chargers, a division of Universal Green Group, a Plano, Texas-based developer of clean energy infrastructure, $1.5 million in grants in Ohio, bringing its total grant wins to nearly $12 million to provide EV charging to businesses in industries such as hospitality and multifamily, according to a press release.
As a winner of the Ohio Diesel Mitigation Trust EV DC Fast Charging Program Awards 2022, Universal EV Chargers will help improve access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure for residents and travelers across Ohio. Each site will install three dual-port DC fast chargers with 160 kW power for six parking spaces.
Universal EV Chargers focuses on locations that already serve customers' needs for support services while their vehicles charge, like hotels and other hospitality settings.
An additional focus is multifamily housing developments that are not already supplying charging services for tenants.
