Advanced Power & Energy Partners with Power Innovations International to Launch Innovative Mobile EV Charging Technology at Greater Erie Auto Auction in Erie, PA, on October 8, with Support from Ben Franklin Technology Partners
Erie, PA – Advanced Power & Energy (AP&E), in partnership with Power Innovations International (Pii), is excited to announce the launch of a groundbreaking mobile charging unit for electric vehicles (EV) and industrial applications. This innovative product marks the latest step in the region’s leadership in progressive energy solutions, offering businesses a versatile, mobile charging option designed to meet the evolving demands of the modern world.
The partnership between AP&E and Pii brings this mobile charger to market, as well as bringing a full suite of advanced charging and power solutions that are focused on sustainability and energy efficiency.
Supporting this exciting initiative is the Greater Erie Auto Auction, where the mobile charging unit will be on display and available for dealers to experience during the weekly auctions. This innovative business arrangement is also supported by Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern PA (Ben Franklin CNP), a venture development organization focused on creating an advantage for its portfolio of companies by investing in, mentoring, and supporting innovative business opportunities throughout Central and Northern Pennsylvania. The role of Ben Franklin CNP in this launch underscores their commitment to fostering business growth and making Erie a hub for continued economic and business development.
“We are thrilled to be launching this mobile charger in Erie, a region that has proven to be incredibly welcoming to innovative business opportunities,” said George Bulick, President of Advanced Power & Energy. “Thanks to the support of the Greater Erie Auto Auction, we can bring cutting-edge technology to the local market and support the region’s transition to a greener, more sustainable energy future.”
“This solution helps us resolve a concern that has been increasing over the last few years: EV vehicles with no way to safely, reliably, and economically get charged. This charger solves these issues, and we are proud to be a part of this revolutionary solution,” said Ryan Russell, General Manager of Greater Erie Auto Auction. “This mobile charger is just one example of how new technologies can transform the industry, and we are excited to be part of that journey.”
Greater Erie Auto Auction, and its parent company Glovis America Inc., have long been leaders in embracing advanced automotive technologies. The mobile charger will be on site and accessible to auction attendees beginning on October 8.
Ben Franklin CNP is proud to support this project, and their support in this endeavor reinforces Erie’s standing as a prime location for businesses looking to lead in innovation. “The I-79 corridor and the Erie region are open for business and ready to support growth,” said Brian Slawin, Regional Director and Portfolio Manager. “We are proud to work with businesses like Advanced Power & Energy and Power Innovations International, which are bringing innovative energy solutions and great employment opportunities to the area.”
With this launch, Advanced Power & Energy, Power Innovations International, Greater Erie Auto Auction, and the Ben Franklin Technology Partners Central and Northern PA are collectively working to ensure that Erie and northwestern Pennsylvania continue to stand out as a leader in state-of-the-art technology, creating opportunities for growth, investment, and sustainability.
