Business Surging for EV Charging Provider Noodoe
Noodoe CEO Jennifer Chang says most of the new
installations by the Walnut, CA-based company are in the western U.S., most
notably Southern California and Las Vegas.
Electric-vehicle charging technology specialist Noodoe
reports a record number of orders for its charging stations through July,
citing increased demand by hotels, casinos and real estate developers.
Noodoe CEO Jennifer Chang says most of the new installations
by the Walnut, CA-based company are in the western U.S., most notably Southern
California and Las Vegas.
“The hospitality industry and commercial real estate
developers are reacting to solid, sustained growth of the EV industry. In many
markets, they are playing catch-up, their customers inquiring about
easy-to-locate, easy-to-use EV charging stations.”
Chang cites InsideEVs data showing 2018 was the best year
ever for EV sales in the US, with 361,307 units sold – more than double from
two years ago.
“We have orders from small motels to major parking
garages in Las Vegas casinos,” Chang says. “Hotel owners and retail developers
are looking for ‘smart’ EV charging stations that make customers happy while
supplying an additional source of revenue.”
For charging site owners, Noodoe says it offers the
advantages of both universal charging and automated operation.
The business operation is 100% self-service and totally
automated. A sampling of Noodoe charging installations in Southern California
includes 10 wall-mounts for the Sheraton Universal City, double chargers at the
Hilton Palm Springs, garage installations at the Millennium Biltmore in
downtown Los Angeles and undisclosed properties in Las Vegas and Canada.
