Charging-as-a-service provider Amply ensures only California-sourced renewable power from wind and solar sources is used by its fleet customers to help reduce the effects of climate change.
Amply Power has announced it is delivering 100 per cent clean energy to its electric fleet customers in California
The charging-as-a-service (CaaS) provider ensures only California-sourced renewable power from wind and solar sources is used by its fleet customers to help reduce the effects of climate change.
Amply reports it is already managing multiple gigawatt-hours of energy per year for its California customers.
With this initiative, Amply said it is leveraging its proprietary charge management system, Omega, to track and aggregate megawatt hours of electricity used by its California customers and purchasing renewable energy credits to cover the amount of power being used.
According to Amply, the renewable energy effort complements its overall electric fleet charging solution to ensure that each electric vehicle is charged with clean energy and ready for work each day, in exchange for a price-per-mile-driven fee.
“This renewable energy initiative ensures that our customers’ vehicles are truly operating on zero-emissions, without the high costs of generating and storing renewable energy on site”
The company’s software also optimises vehicle charging to minimise energy costs and maximise vehicle uptime.
“We’ve truly ‘flipped the switch’ to deliver 100 per cent clean electricity to all of our customers, including Tri Delta Transit, Solano County Transit, Palermo Unified School District, and more,” said Vic Shao, CEO at Amply Power.
“Not only does this help achieve countrywide decarbonisation goals, but also helps customers reduce their Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. This renewable energy initiative ensures that our customers’ vehicles are truly operating on zero-emissions, without the high costs of generating and storing renewable energy on site.”
Amply claims Tri Delta Transit is a prime example of how it can effectively convert fossil fuel-powered fleets to electric and ultimately achieve cost savings while reducing their carbon footprint. The company has worked with a number of transit authorities, school bus, and trucking fleets in the state of California and ultimately plans to expand this initiative to other states.
“For any transit authority looking to make the switch to electric vehicle operations, guaranteeing that the energy we are using is renewable and carbon neutral, furthering our commitment to zero-emission transportation,” said Steve Ponte, chief operating Officer of Tri Delta Transit.
“Amply is over-delivering on this promise with its intelligent charging-as-a-service platform ultimately helping us realise 40 per cent savings.”
Amply Power is a comprehensive electric vehicle charging and energy management provider for fleets operating trucks, buses, vans and light-duty vehicles.
Tri Delta Transit provides more than three million trips each year to a population of some 250,000 residents in the 225 square miles of Eastern Contra Costa County. It operates 15 local bus routes, four local bus routes on weekends, door-to-door bus service for senior citizens and people with disabilities, and shuttle services to community events.
