Charging Ahead: Optimus Energy Solutions and the "Build It" Approach
If You Build It...
As electric vehicle (EV) and solar adoption surge, a key challenge is to ensure there are enough charging stations and grid assets to keep up with demand. While some talk about future EV charging, the “electric present” demands infrastructure be installed today.
How do we match the rapid surge in EVs with convenient charging capabilities?
How can we swiftly address the challenges posed by the electric present?
How will America capitalize on building energy capacity and create a virtuous cycle for our transportation economy?
Just Build It! That’s the philosophy at Optimus Energy Solutions. “Build It” is a bold invitation for businesses, local governments, and communities to participate in building the infrastructure required to meet the growing market. The unequivocal response to the hurdles posed by EV adoption can be encapsulated in two words: Build It.
Speed Wins
America, and particularly the Southeast, must transition from discussions about long-term strategies to swift implementation. Speed wins, and with projections indicating that 25% of vehicles sold by 2025 will be electric, the time for action is now. “Build It” is a clarion call for businesses, cities, counties, and homes to prepare for the electric vehicle charging boom.
Ben Pauluhn, President of Optimus Energy Solutions, notes, "In five years, the only thing we will know for certain is that five years will have passed. Did we spend those five years building the infrastructure we need—or not?”
What’s Happening
Florida has emerged as a case study in "building it." The Sunshine State ranks second-highest for electric vehicle adoption in the nation. Two counties, Miami-Dade and Broward, rank in the top-10 out of 3,000+ counties nationwide. Florida has become a trailblazer without billions of public tax dollars for EV incentive programs, like California. Florida’s strong market for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure will continue to reward entrepreneurs and community leaders with cost savings and economic growth who prioritize building EV infrastructure now over waiting for lawmakers to catch up.
In Georgia, a new battery plant will produce batteries for 300,000 EVs per year, supporting a cycle of industry growth and economic opportunity.
