ABM Partners with Ohio-based Automotive Dealership to Increase EV Charging Infrastructure to Serve a New Generation of Models
01 Junho 2023 - 9:00AM
ABM (NYSE: ABM), one of the nation’s largest providers of facility
services, infrastructure solutions, and parking management, has
partnered with Graham Ford automotive dealership in Mansfield, Ohio
to accelerate the region’s adoption of electric vehicles (“EV”)
with the installation of fast and effective EV charging stations at
its facility. The EV infrastructure enhancements will exceed
industry standards, and future proof the dealership by providing
Graham Ford with six Level 2 chargers, and three DC (direct
current) fast chargers to service its needs for both service
customers and sales deliveries. The Graham Ford partnership
reflects ABM’s sizable role as a strategic partner to the nation’s
largest automakers and dealer networks, as auto manufacturers race
to bring new EV models to market.
With Ohio ranked 17th nationally for most
registered electric vehicles according to the Department of Energy,
there is already significant local consumer demand for EV
infrastructure. Graham Ford represents the latest port installation
project ABM is delivering in the automotive dealership community,
adding to its close to 30,000 installations nationwide.
As one of the country’s leading EV
infrastructure installers, ABM is helping Graham Ford take the next
step in making a long-term investment aligned with Ford’s
overarching electric vehicle strategy, which includes an investment
of more than $50 billion in electric vehicles globally through 2026
to develop breakthrough EVs as well as plans to manufacture them at
scale at a run rate of 600,000 globally by late 2023 and 2 million
by 2026.
“ABM is thrilled to work with many of the
nation’s largest automotive dealership networks as their strategic
partner in making innovative and forward-looking investments to
efficiently service and sell the increasing number of EV models
coming to the market,” said Mark Hawkinson, ABM’s President of
Technical Solutions. “Looking holistically at their operation, the
Graham Ford team is correctly viewing this opportunity as a
strategic investment as the nation approaches a true EV boom. Much
more than simply installing a couple of charging stations, we are
helping this team evaluate power and grid capacity, selecting and
installing the right technology for their needs today, while
providing the infrastructure to support future growth and the added
learning curve that comes with more electric vehicles, including
training technicians and mechanics to service EV charging stations
and future upgrades.”
As Ford and other auto makers recommend or
require dealerships to make electrical infrastructure investments
to prepare for an electric future, ABM is helping operators
nationwide set the standard for the industry. ABM’s
industry-leading capabilities and industry expertise allows for it
to be a single-source solution for all EV charging needs, providing
dealerships like Graham Ford with everything required to adapt to
the future of the auto industry.
“We know EVs are coming, and we want to be at
the forefront to ensure our customers continue to get the very best
service and experience now and in years to come,” said Kenneth
Williams, Vice President and General Manager, Graham Auto Group.
“The country is moving full speed toward mass EV adoption, and
Graham Ford is committed to meeting this growing demand, while
providing the knowledgeable service and seamless experience our
customers expect.”
