Marshalls Energy Company is proud to announce the installation of modern electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Majuro. The initiative, funded by the World Bank under their Sustainable Energy Development Project (SEDeP), highlights MEC’s dedication to promoting renewable energy and aiding the transition to a cleaner and greener future.
The newly installed EV charging stations at MEC headquarters and Public School System parking lot are part of our ongoing commitment to create an ecological balance for our employees, customers, and the community. We intend to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, minimize carbon emissions, and safeguard the environment through accessible and convenient charging infrastructure.
These charging stations are open to the public to use 24 hours per day and 7 days per week to charge their electric vehicles. There is no fee to use these charging stations for the time being. In the future, when MEC decides to start invoicing customers for using the charging stations, the owner of the EV will need to have an account set up by MEC customer service staff. This account will allow the users to set up a username and pin number to access their account for their vehicle each time they use the charging stations. Your account number will ensure you only have to pay for the power used to recharge the battery on your vehicle.
The account will also keep a record of each EV charging history over time. This information can be shared on the user’s smartphone. The charging history will be used to help support climate change data for the RMI.
MEC’s EV charging stations boast numerous features, including:
- Advanced Technology: These charging stations incorporate cutting-edge technology, resulting in rapid and efficient charging while ensuring the safety and longevity of electric vehicle batteries.
- Multiple Charging Options: They offer a range of charging options to cater to various EV models and charging requirements, such as Level 2 charging and fast charging capabilities.
- User-Friendly Experience: Our charging stations are user-friendly, with intuitive interfaces and easy-to-follow instructions, making it effortless for employees, visitors, and the public to charge Electric Vehicles.
- Increased Charging Capacity: With multiple charging ports available, our EV charging stations can accommodate simultaneous charging, ensuring maximum charging capacity for multiple vehicles at any given time.
- Enhanced Safety Measures: The charging stations are equipped with advanced safety features, such as built-in surge protection, secure authentication systems, and 24/7 monitoring, ensuring a safe charging experience for all users.
“We are excited to introduce our new EV charging stations in Majuro,” said Jack Chong-Gum, MEC CEO. “By expanding access to convenient charging infrastructure, we are actively supporting the adoption of electric vehicles and facilitating the transition to a more sustainable transportation future.”
The installation aligns with MEC’s broader commitment to corporate sustainability. “We continually seek opportunities to minimize our carbon footprint and promote environmentally friendly practices throughout our operations,” said Chong-Gum.
To further support sustainable e-mobility, MEC plans to expand the network of EV charging stations on Majuro. “Our aim is to work with donor partners to install rapid charging stations at key public areas, such as the airport, supermarkets, etc., in order to support the growing number of electric vehicle owners and promote cleaner transportation alternatives.”
