Charge Your Town Forward with EV Solutions
Whether a small town or a big city, it’s time for local governments to invest in EV charging infrastructure to advance their communities toward a cleaner and more sustainable future. From retail curbsides to fleet garages, there is no shortage of locations that municipalities can use to expand their EV charging capabilities. Let’s look at a few areas where your municipality can focus when building its EV charging infrastructure and how your town can benefit!

Reliable Power for Fleets
One of the first ways municipalities can begin their EV infrastructure expansion is by transitioning their fleet vehicles from internal combustion engines to EVs. Electric police cars, public transit vehicles, and school buses are saving towns time and money with reduced maintenance costs compared to their gas-powered predecessors, and now is the perfect time for your town to upgrade! Invest in fleet-quality EV charging solutions, to make sure your city’s fleet vehicles are always ready when you need them.

Perks for Civil Servants
Attract and retain talent to your city positions by providing EV chargers at your local government offices. A couple of EV chargers in your parking lot can go a long way to improve someone’s overall satisfaction with their employment. Being able to charge at work is a huge benefit that can lower stress, reduce commute times, and even save your employees some money. Looking at EV charging as an employee benefit can help your office gain an edge on attracting local talent to work for your city or town.
Employee Charging Feature – Raytheon
At Raytheon’s Woburn, Massachusetts office, Voltrek was tasked with installing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, supporting Raytheon in its environmental initiative. Responding to employee requests and aligning with Raytheon's ambitious sustainability goals, the company aimed to significantly reduce emissions while enhancing workplace satisfaction.
By leveraging dual-port ChargePoint Level 2 charging stations known for their efficiency and aesthetic appeal, Raytheon reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. This strategic deployment underscores Raytheon's dedication to sustainability, employee well-being, and technological advancement, positioning the company as a leader in corporate responsibility within the Woburn community.
Power A Cleaner Community
Opening city-owned chargers up to the public is a great way to accelerate the clean energy transition in your community. Parks, libraries, and public roads surrounding shopping and dining centers are great locations for adding public EV chargers to land that the municipality controls. You may even consider opening your city-employee chargers to the public overnight and on weekends. Even a few extra chargers around town can have a major impact on encouraging your citizens to choose EVs. Some cities like Boston are even taking on initiatives to build EV charging stations along public roads so that EV drivers are never more than a five-minute walk from a charge![i]
At Voltrek we work with school districts, police departments, and a variety of municipal entities to power their EV fleets and construct the EV charging infrastructure throughout their communities. Our team is fully equipped to handle any project from curbside public charging to large-scale installations for fleets.
