NOCO UNVEILS EV CHARGING PLUGS AT TONAWANDA HEADQUARTERS

 

TONAWANDA, NY – To mark National Drive Electric Week, NOCO today unveiled four new EV charging plugs at the full-service energy company’s headquarters located at 2440 Sheridan Drive, Tonawanda. The Level 2 plugs are available for use by both NOCO employees and the public.

 

The project was funded, in part, by National Grid’s EV Make-Ready Program and NYSERDA’s Charge Ready NY 2.0. NOCO has been registered as an approved installer with National Grid. NOCO can now facilitate rebates and incentives to help cover the cost of EV charging installations for its customers. EV chargers and additional supplies will also be available through Shanor Electric, a division of NOCO.

 

“As we move forward with adding EV charging installations to our service portfolio, we first needed to start with us; having them available at our company headquarters,” said Michael Casciano, NOCO’s president and chief operating officer. “This is just another way we are committed to meeting the evolving energy needs of our customers. As we prioritize sustainable energy solutions, being able to now assist customers with their EV charging needs continues our growth into new non-carbon business lines.”

 

For this EV plug installation, National Grid incentives represented approximately 90% of the material and labor costs. National Grid’s Upstate New York EV Make-Ready Program helps business customers fund up to 100% of project costs related to installing electricity infrastructure. The company plans to invest more than $150 million in Make-Ready incentives to install 9,000 plugs across Upstate New York by the end of 2025.

 

“EV charging as a workplace amenity for its employees is just one way companies like NOCO can demonstrate leadership within the clean energy transition,” said Whitney Skeans, National Grid’s EV Make-Ready Program manager. “It also demonstrates NOCO’s corporate commitment to sustainable transportation, appreciating the fast-expanding EV driver community and opportunities to service it. As limited funds remain, we look forward to coordinating future EV projects with NOCO, its customers throughout the region, and any National Grid business customer looking to do the same.”

 

NYSERDA’s Charge Ready NY 2.0 offers incentives to public, private, and not-for-profit organizations that install Level 2 EV charging stations at workplaces, multi-unit dwellings or public facilities that are owned or operated by municipal or state government entities.

 

“These new NOCO EV chargers show how public-private partnerships can improve access to workplace charging at locations that are also convenient for public use,” said New York State Energy Research and Development Authority President and CEO Doreen M. Harris. “NYSERDA is proud to support this project which continues New York’s success in expanding the infrastructure needed to support more electric vehicles on our roadways and healthier communities across the state.”

 

In recent years, NOCO’s growth into non-carbon business lines has included geothermal, insulation, community solar, energy efficiency and environmental services for both residential and commercial customers.
