AutoTech Outlook: Specials Magazine

The electric vehicle (EV) sector is anticipated to grow by 41 percent by the year 2027, and its widespread adoption is reliant on the availability of robust EV charging (EVc) infrastructure. Businesses that offer reliable EVc infrastructure at their facilities stand to gain numerous benefits, including attracting more customers, enhancing their brand image and building a loyal clientele. BluSkyEV is laying the groundwork for an EV-first tomorrow by providing reliable and convenient EVc terminal charging machines to retailers at no outof- pocket costs. BluSkyEV offers level two and three charging models through its innovative top-it-off (TIO™) terminals that are easy to install and use. Individuals can conveniently recharge their vehicles while performing daily activities like working out, shopping or running errands. The terminals are designed with features that provide convenience and reduce risks. For example, its retractable cabling system eliminates loose cables around the unit, mitigating possible mishaps. Unlike traditional EV charging stations that require users to download proprietary apps for charging and payment, BluSkyEV offers a hassle-free, cashless credit card payment system. It makes charging as simple as swiping a card and initiating the machine. Specializing in engineering EVc stations for nearly two decades, BluSkyEV has closely witnessed the market’s evolution. Its innovative business model, similar to a vending machine company, is formulated to address retailers’ apprehension about investing in EVc.

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving a major shift in infrastructure as cities and regions transition from traditional fuel stations to EV charging stations. In North America, ambitious government goals to cut carbon emissions are accelerating this change. Charging stations are now common at malls, offices, and public spaces. The increase in EV adoption has created a need for expanded grids, upgraded utilities, and new approaches to energy generation and storage. Though the transition is complex, the push toward a cleaner, electrified future is rapidly gaining momentum. At the forefront of this transformation is Miller Electric Company, a long-standing leader in energy and electrical infrastructure services.
