CASE STUDY

Powering the Future of Transportation

Customer: Lees-McRae College

Challenge

Lees-McRae College, built in the mountains of North Carolina, focuses on caring for the environment through efficient resource management and low-impact operations. As part of their continued efforts, they turned to their partners at Aramark to help them provide EV charging to their students, faculty and visitors. 

Solution

Wesco Energy Solutions worked with Aramark’s Facility Director to obtain grant money for the installation of one (1) EV charging unit to be installed at 191 Main Street West on the Lees-McRae College campus.

Once the grant money was secured Aramark reached out to the Wesco Energy Solutions team to help execute the EV installation. Our team installed one (1) dual-head, level 2 EV charger, intended for public use. Our turnkey project plan included design, material procurement, labor including installation and commissioning of the unit. Our expertise in project management from design to execution helped our customer, Aramark, deliver the right solution for their customer, a win-win for everyone.


Results:

  • Secured a 30% federal tax credit
  • Seamless installation without disruption to faculty or students
  • Enhanced Aramark’s value to their customer, Lees-McRae College
  • Connected to the network enabling visibility for EV drivers
