Livonia, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/07/2013 -- PEP Stations announced today that it will help businesses receive the Federal Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit.

"If consumers choose to buy and install a charging station for an electric vehicle before the end of 2013, they may be eligible for the Federal Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit," said Steve Grossman, Director of Sales for PEP Stations.

Grossman explained that a 30% credit capped at $30,000 is also included in Section 30C for business or investment on Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property. "Not only will you improve your bottom line by attracting great customers, you'll save on your taxes, too," Grossman said.

Industry Growth Puts Open Docking Stations In High Demand

Livonia, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/09/2013 -- The rapidly increasing number of electric and hybrid cars on the road has begun to create logjams at plug-in sites and has created a nationwide need for more electric vehicle charging stations.

It is currently estimated that there are 75,000 fully electric vehicles in use in America and over 6 million hybrids on the road globally, and their overall market share is growing steadily with no signs of abatement. There are, however, only 10,000 electric car charging stations across the country to accommodate this rising tide. This has led to some congestion at publicly available electric car charging stations, especially in more EV-dense areas like California and Washington. Commercial facilities are hurriedly installing more electric car charging stations to meet the growing demand, and projections show that there could be as many as 50,000 stations nationwide by the end of the year.

PEP Stations is one of the leading EV charging station companies, offering a variety of different products to meet the unique demands of commercial facilities in this growing market. Their mission is to create electric car chargers that are identifiable, indestructible, inexpensive, and user-friendly, while helping to encourage the economically and environmentally sustainable industry of alternative powered automobiles in general.

These vehicles will put an even greater strain on the commercial charging infrastructure and will likely require a better effort from businesses to invest in more charging stations.

With the advent of the hybrid vehicle, over the last ten years, more and more people in the Los Angeles area, not to mention the rest of the country, have invested in the cleaner-burning, more environmentally efficient vehicles. Up until this point, electric vehicle charging stations have been able to keep up with the challenge, but, going forward, there are going to be even greater demands placed on businesses to provide charging stations.
