An East Coast installer and distributor of EV charging equipment called PlugIn Stations Online (PISO) has successfully installed what it calls “one of the world’s first” hydro-powered EV chargers operating off 100% clean energy. The systems show plenty of possibility for a clean future of hydropower EV charging in the US and beyond.
“The revolution is electric.” Those are the first glowing words you see when you visit the website of PlugIn Stations Online (PISO). We won’t disagree. The Valatie, New York-based EV charging specialist has over a decade of experience providing solutions to homes, fleets, and businesses on the East Coast.
It currently has partnerships with several EV charging manufacturers we regularly cover at Electrek, including ChargePoint, ABB, and Shell Recharge. In addition to providing commercial and home charging solutions, PISO is involved in a number of sustainability projects around the state.
Three years ago, PISO President John Doran said that the local Valatie Falls hydropower plant he owns would someday provide the charging power to the company’s fleet of EVs. Today, the company has delivered proof of concept, expanding the potential for more clean and renewable sources of energy to power the growing number of EVs on roads.
