EVBox is committed to building a greener future, where charging your electric vehicle is as simple and convenient as finding a parking spot. Employees like Travis Walker, our North American Business Development Manager, are at the forefront of this mission, helping businesses prepare for the growing shift toward electric vehicles.
According to the Boston Consulting Group, more people will choose electric vehicles over gas-powered cars by 2030. Travis helps business leaders understand how investing in EV charging infrastructure can position them to thrive and lead in their markets as more customers switch to electric transportation.
Travis has always been passionate about renewable energy and its potential to benefit both the environment and businesses. His career in sales and leadership roles at one of the top residential solar companies in the U.S. fueled his interest in sustainable solutions. At EVBox, he finds joy in removing obstacles that prevent people from reaching their full potential.
If you're considering adding EV charging to your location, Travis recommends focusing on these five key factors:
**1. Reliability**
One of the biggest concerns for drivers transitioning from gas to electric vehicles is "range anxiety." They worry about finding a working charger when they need it. That’s why choosing a reliable and versatile charger is essential. The new **EVBox Iqon Level 2 charger** is designed to work with all types of EVs, ensuring that no driver is left behind. It’s also built to last, with a solid reputation for performance and support from a company known for excellent customer service.
**2. Right Number of Charging Stations**
The ideal ratio is one public EV charging station for every four EVs on the road. With the number of EVs growing rapidly, there's a significant gap in charging infrastructure. Researching the number of EVs in your area and comparing it to existing stations can help determine how many chargers you should install. For employers, surveying employees about their EV ownership or interest can be a great starting point.
Travis suggests that if a location has more than 100 parking spaces, at least 10% should be dedicated to EV charging. This not only meets current demand but also prepares for future growth.
**3. Station Placement**
Placement is crucial for visibility and accessibility. Charging stations should be close to power sources to reduce installation costs and placed in high-traffic areas so drivers can easily find them. Visibility reinforces a commitment to sustainability and may even encourage gas-car drivers to consider an EV in the future.
**4. Network Flexibility**
Some charging providers lock you into a single network, limiting your options. EVBox offers flexibility through Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) interoperability, allowing users to choose and change software platforms without replacing hardware. This freedom ensures long-term adaptability and cost savings.
**5. Long-Term Value**
EV charging stations are exposed to the elements and heavy use daily. Choosing durable, weatherproof models like the **EVBox Iqon** ensures longevity and reliability. Additionally, selecting a company with a strong track record, like EVBox, provides peace of mind and supports long-term success.

Ship Building Steel Plate
Marine Steel Plate refer to the steel used to manufacture the hull structure of sea-going ships and inland watercrafts, usually high-quality carbon steel and high-quality low-alloy steel. Marine steel plate is required to have certain strength, toughness, and low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, as well as good welding performance.
General strength hull structure steel is divided into 4 grades: A, B, D, E. The yield strength (not less than 235N/mm^2) and tensile strength (400~520N/mm^2) of these 4 grades of steel The same, but the impact energy is different at different temperatures.
High-strength hull structure steel is divided into strength grades according to its minimum yield strength, and each strength grade is divided into A, D, E, F 4 grades according to its impact toughness.
Due to the harsh working environment of the ship, the hull of the hull is subject to seawater chemical corrosion, electrochemical corrosion, marine organisms, and microbial corrosion; the hull bears greater wind and wave impact and alternating loads; the shape of the ship makes the processing method complicated, so it is not Shipboard steel plates have strict requirements. First of all, good toughness is the most critical requirement. In addition, high strength, good corrosion resistance, welding performance, processing and forming performance and surface quality are required.
High strength shipbuilding steel grades include AH, DH, EH, and FH with a specified minimum yield point of 46 ksi [315MPa], 51 ksi [350MPa], or 57 ksi [390MPa].
Grades AH32, DH32, EH32 and FH32's yield strength is not less than 315MPa, and the tensile strength is 440~570Mpa. Grades AH36, DH36, EH36 and FH36's yield strength is not less than 355MPa, and the tensile strength is 490~620MPa. Meanwhile, the yield strength of AH40, DH40, EH40 and FH40 is not less than 390MPa, and the tensile strength is 510~660MPa.
