Hunt Military Communities Adds EV Charging

Hunt Military Communities (HMC), a provider of military housing, recently launched an electric vehicle (EV) charging pilot program that will provide Level-2 charging to residents at four military bases.

The company partnered with TRO Energy Solutions, Inc. (TROES), a Virginia-based provider of electric vehicle charging technology. 

The project aligns with HMC's sustainability goals and the goals set by the Office of the Secretary of Defense related to energy resiliency and expanding EV usage on military installations to minimize carbon emissions.

The Initial pilot locations include Barksdale Air Force Base (Shreveport, LA), Fort Sam Houston (San Antonio, TX), Joint Base Pearl-Harbor Hickam (Honolulu, HI), and Marine Corps Base Hawaii (Kailua, HI). 

"We are proud to usher in a new era of sustainability and convenience for our military families, and I am pleased that Hunt Military Communities has selected Barksdale Air Force Base, the oldest Bomb Wing in the world, as one of their pilot locations,” said Lt Col Stanton Brown, 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron Commander for Barksdale Air Force Base, in a statement. “The prospect of our military personnel gaining access to high-speed EV charging within their homes is exciting. These EV chargers not only address the evolving needs of our Airmen but also align with our commitment to advancing carbon reduction goals established by the Department of Defense and the state of Louisiana. This initiative reflects our dedication to fostering a modern, forward-thinking community that enhances the quality of life for our Airmen and their families."

Residents with EVs will have convenient access to the Level-2 charging ports through the TROES ChargeTime app, which features account management through a mobile device. There is no up-front cost to residents for the installation.
