Electric Vehicle Charging SERVICES

In a Phase I ESA, AEI provides a detailed report researching and assessing the current and historical environmental uses of the property, performing environmental due diligence to mitigate the risks of any potential or existing environmental contamination.

A visual inspection is conducted of the site and a report is provided with documentation outlining our findings.

Through a comprehensive process of safeguarding your interests, AEI consultants evaluate and implement processes that help reduce the impact of risk.

In a Phase II ESA, a quantitative assessment is performed in which samples are taken and tests are performed on the soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater of a property, helping to determine whether there is a presence or absence of hazardous substances and petroleum products on the site.

AEI alternative energy consultants conduct an on-site evaluation to determine the property’s boundary between uplands and wetlands in order to receive environmental permitting.

Hands-on testing and sampling are used to identify any contaminants that are likely present in soils, groundwater or vacant structures; determine any high-risk areas as well as the extent of contamination in these areas. Then a cleanup plan is developed to prevent and minimize exposures. If needed, remediation measures are taken, such as Underground Storage Tank (UST) removal for both hybrid gas & alternative fueling sites. The UST removal is done in a way that protects both human and environmental health.

This comprehensive method of safeguarding your interests involves evaluating and implementing the processes that help identify, evaluate and alleviate risks as they arise.

During the construction phase, AEI consultants aid in ensuring compliance with permit programs that control water pollution, such as the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. We also help develop a plan to comply with requirements from the Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPPP), which serves to protect surrounding rivers, lakes, and coastal waters from storm water runoff.

AEI verifies that the installation meets all requirements to ensure public health and safety.

We provide solutions to responsibly dispose of any waste that results from the development and construction of your alternative fueling station.

AEI develops a plan with cost-effective solutions to operate, maintain, and repair the alternative fueling station.

Our consultants ensure compliance with the latest energy regulations and codes.

Our Capital Planning Consulting services assess the condition and remaining useful life of the systems and equipment, allowing for costing-out of the maintenance, replacement or enhancement of the alternative fueling station.

Currently, there are not enough alternative fueling stations in the U.S., and the ones we do have aren’t distributed evenly across the country, which limits availability and accessibility. Additionally, the existing electric grid can not support the number of charging stations that will be needed in the future. And its reliance on fossil fuels is still a problem.

However, there are solutions out there. Funding provided to states by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program is assisting in the growth of infrastructure. AEI’s consultants offer NEVI users support through feasibility and siting for Alternative Fueling Stations nationwide.

There are currently three major levels of chargers available, all with different voltages. The lack of consistency across the board could be a huge obstacle in access to a universal charging system similar to gas stations.

The biggest worry for owners – and potential owners – of electric vehicles is not having enough energy to get to their destination, especially on a long road trip. An efficient charging infrastructure is a crucial necessity to remove range anxiety and draw in more buyers.
