Avis Alaska Adds EV Charging

Two AVIS Car Rental locations in Alaska are adding EV charging capabilities.

Imperalis Holding Corp., to be renamed TurnOnGreen, Inc. announced the expansion of the company’s electric vehicle (EV) charging network by adding multiple high-power networked EVP1100 Level 2 EV chargers at the AVIS licensee’s Anchorage and Juneau locations. AVIS Alaska operates 12 locations throughout the state.

“Working with AVIS Alaska to provide affordable EV charging solutions will help ease their transition to an electric fleet in the future,” said Amos Kohn, CEO, in a statement. “The EV revolution is well underway, and our mission is to support widespread EV adoption and utilization.”

As part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Alaska Energy Authority will receive $7.8 million in federal fiscal year 2022 and $11.1 million in federal fiscal year 2023 from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program. AEA anticipates receiving approximately $52 million over the next five years through this program to build a network of DC fast chargers throughout Alaska.
