Companies across the world are rapidly transitioning toward zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs) and away from internal combustion engines (ICEs) — thanks to corporate sustainability initiatives, emission reduction legislation, infrastructure improvements, and cost savings. EV fleets cost less to operate because EVs offer fewer moving parts, require less maintenance, and boast performance advantages. Regardless of fleet size, fleet operators are embracing electrification because it makes good financial and environmental sense. But deciding to switch from internal combustion vehicles to EVs requires significant planning, a specialty of Core Development Group.

Core Development Group enables fleets and businesses to achieve smooth, successful transitions to electric vehicles throughout the U.S. The company provides large-scale planning, development, management, and maintenance of charging infrastructure to support electric fleet delivery vans, yard hostlers, box trucks, cars and day cabs Leading the way in transitioning fleets with EV charging, the team’s diverse expertise in designing, developing, and installing EV charging energy systems offers clients trusted guidance and reliable services for a cleaner future. With a focus on strengthening energy independence and switching to electrified transportation, the company offers complete turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services.

“With electrification of vehicles occurring more rapidly, fleet managers need to understand the vast opportunities that arise from transitioning from internal combustion engine vehicles to clean electric vehicles,” says Henry Cortes, CEO and Founder of Core Development Group. “Therefore, ramping up to install hundreds of EV chargers per fleet location requires a great deal of experience, expertise, and coordination. That’s where we come in, serving as a trusted partner to fleet managers as they expand their footprint. Forward-thinking fleet managers forge a path to a brighter, cleaner future when they realize the benefits of electrifying their operations and installing EV charging stations.”

One of the main benefits of transitioning to electric fleet vehicles is the reduced environmental impact, including lower greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. To accomplish large-scale EV charging installations, Core Development has been working closely with corporations and organizations across the United States to help power electric fleets and help reduce carbon emissions while implementing sustainability initiatives. EV charging installation locations span a wide geographic footprint from California to Massachusetts to Florida.

Core Development Group’s recent EV charging accomplishments are helping to build the electrified energy-transportation infrastructure network of the future, including implementing part of the largest EV fleet charging system in the Americas. Understanding the design and energy infrastructure needed for EV charging station systems can require deep expertise.

With its rich expertise in EV charging infrastructure and renewable energy offerings, Core Development Group has garnered a large clientele, including Fortune 500 companies. In one instance, the company enabled an online retailer to deploy thousands of fleet EV chargers and implement their electrified fleet goals in 30 locations in 15 states across the U.S.

“We pride ourselves on our seasoned leadership team of engineers, project managers, and construction managers who help guide businesses and municipalities to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources,” Cortes says. “Actively listening and understanding our client needs is highly valued. This helps us maintain deep relationships with clients while creating a business impact and helping communities.”

Through energy storage and EV charging, the company continues to explore new ways of managing energy budgets and saving customers money by bringing better control of the electricity supply. It believes in building ever-lasting relationships through transparency, integrity, and trust.

With an eye on a carbon-free environment, Core Development Group promises to continue innovating to propel businesses and communities toward a cleaner and more resilient future. Envisioning a thriving economy led by responsible businesses powered and empowered by clean energy, it intends to serve as their trusted partner and drive their business growth by embracing and implementing decarbonized, sustainable energy that helps fleet managers prepare for the road ahead.
