SPX Service Solutions To Distribute And Install Plugless Power Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Systems

Service Solutions to launch an in-home vehicle and station installation program for Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt owners who purchase Plugless Power wireless charging systems.

WYTHEVILLE, Va. – Evatran announced today that it has signed an agreement with SPX Service Solutions to distribute and install Plugless Power wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging systems.
 
Plugless Power, developed by Evatran, is the first electric vehicle (EV) charging system on the market that allows customers to charge their EVs with wireless technology, according to the company. In addition to aftermarket distribution, Evatran is currently working with automotive manufacturers to integrate the Plugless Power technology into mass-market EVs. In addition to the installation and distribution agreement with SPX Service Solutions, the company also is partnering with Sears Home Services to support the installation of Plugless Power systems nationwide.
 
 These systems, available to individual Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt owners starting in April 2013, require station installation in customers’ homes, as well as, the installation of an adapter onto the undercarriage of the EV. SPX Service Solutions will be launching a program to provide both parts of the installation process in the comfort of the EV owner’s own home.
 
"Our goal has always been to provide EV owners with a completely convenient, hassle-free charging experience," said Rebecca Hough, Evatran chief operating officer. "When we decided to launch an aftermarket product we knew we needed an equally convenient installation process for our customers. Service Solutions committing to in-home vehicle installation in parallel with station installation is a big win for us. Our customers can look forward to a quick, easy, well-managed installation process without leaving the comfort of their own homes."    
 
Service Solutions will be selling the wireless charging systems through both its website and over-the-phone sales channels. Service Solutions kicked off its charging station manufacturing, distribution and installation business more than two years ago with the goal of becoming a leader in the growing electric vehicle charging infrastructure space. Service Solutions has a network of more than 900 certified and trained installation and service staff across the country, and has successfully distributed over 13,000 charge stations, including the Power Xpress, Voltec, ChargePoint, Blink and GE WattStation brands. Plugless Power is the company’s first wireless charging product line.
 
"Our EV charging programs are all about choice for the consumer.  We’ve seen strong interest in the market for a wireless charging solution and we are pleased to add Plugless Power as an option within our portfolio of products. Evatran has the right approach to the market with an aftermarket strategy, and we feel that this partnership allows us to combine our 100 years of automotive service experience with our strong charging infrastructure business," added Kevin Mull, Service Solutions’ Vice President of EV Solutions.
