Continues to make an impact in the municipal fleet market
FORT LEE, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPSI) (“Pioneer” or the “Company”), a leader in the design, manufacture, service and integration of distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”) charging solutions, today announced it has received an order valued at $1.3 million from the City of Portland, Oregon (“Portland”) for multiple e-Boost Mobile units through Graybar Electric (“Graybar”), a leading national electrical distribution company, as part of Graybar’s OMNIA Partners program.
This order is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2025.
The model chosen by Portland is the e-Boost Mobile ‘Open Flex’ which features a 175kW power unit with one 120kW Level 3 fast charger, four 15.3kW Level 2 chargers and a grid-tie transfer switch. We believe that e-Boost is a charging solution that is flexible enough to address Portland’s immediate fleet electrification needs and is a charging solution that can grow and adapt with Portland’s longer-term electrification goals. The e-Boost Mobile ‘Open Flex’ delivers three distinct advantages for Portland’s fleet electrification needs:
- It can be deployed immediately to charge vehicles and equipment at Portland’s fleet yard while waiting for grid power infrastructure upgrades.
- The e-Boost unit can be mobilized to Portland’s more remote service locations and charge the vehicles wherever and whenever needed, without depending on grid connectivity.
- The e-Boost unit can plug into the grid connection at Portland’s fleet yard when it becomes available in the future through the built-in transfer switch, while still maintaining the on-demand power feature in case of outages or for peak demand shaving needs.
Geo Murickan, head of Pioneer eMobility, commented, “We are starting off strong in 2025 with this new order from a new customer for our e-Boost Mobile model. Municipalities across the nation are challenged with electrifying their fleets while contending with grid gap or grid capacity constraints, and we anticipate that our e-Boost suite of products will successfully fill that need.”
Murickan added, “Mobility is key for Portland, and we believe that it needs solutions that can support its growing electrified fleets and meet the charging requirements at its vehicle depot where available power may be limited and also at various remote locations where there may be no charging capabilities at all.”
This order adds to the existing robust backlog for e-Boost products in 2025 and serves as a sharp reminder that electrification for municipalities is not limited to metro areas but is also needed in more remote areas as well. Municipalities across the country are ramping up EV fleet deployments in 2025, and e-Boost is well positioned to meet these needs with a dynamic set of solutions with one of the shortest lead times for fleet electrification in the industry.
