Oodles Energy, one of the fastest-growing electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging network operators, opened its first EV fast-charging location in the city of Houston.
The new Oodles Energy site consists of two 240-kW dc fast-charging stations with four ports capable of simultaneous charging, which will significantly enhance EV charging accessibility in Houston. The stations have NACS and CCS connectors with the ability to charge almost any EV.
Oodles Energy has partnered with 10 hotel groups and 34 hotel and multi-family properties in California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Kansas to install EV fast-charging stations as an amenity.
Each location will be owned, operated, and maintained by Oodles Energy with DCFCs ranging from 240 kW to 350 kW. Ultimately, the locations will have both NACS and CCS connectors available, allowing EV drivers to gain 100 miles of range in ten minutes.
“This installation affirms our commitment to removing obstacles to EV ownership by integrating affordability, dependability, and ease,” said Keith Berger, CEO of Oodles Energy. “We’re simplifying the process for hotels to incorporate a valuable amenity for guests and travelers, thereby addressing range anxiety and fostering the acceleration of EV adoption.”
Located at Four Points by Sheraton Houston Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Oodles Energy is excited to further its EV charging partnerships in the hotel segment, as there are 91,000 locations that will potentially need an EV charging station solution. Oodles has over 50 EV charging locations slated to open in 2024 through collaborations with hotel groups that see the EV drivers as a high growth demographic.
