CUC partners with ZEF Energy to launch an EV Charging Station Program in the Cayman Islands, boosting sustainable transportation.
April 24, 2024 - Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. (CUC), a leading provider of energy solutions, is thrilled with the launch of its Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Program, an initiative aimed at fostering sustainable transportation and reducing environmental pollutants in the Cayman Islands.
The Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Program is part of CUC's commitment to creating a cleaner, greener future for the Cayman Islands. By increasing the number of EV charging stations, the program aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation ecosystem.
To ensure that the charging stations run smoothly and effectively for customers, the Company has partnered with ZEF Energy, an industry-leading EV charging software and hardware provider and local partner Corporate Electric to install and design the stations throughout the island.
"The partnership with CUC is a transformative step forward for EV drivers in the Cayman Islands," emphasizes Matthew Blackler, CEO at ZEF Energy. "The ZEFNET Pro Series was a great selection to enhance the EV Charging experience on Grand Cayman featuring custom CUC branding, stainless steel option to withstand the corrosive effects of the saltwater climate, and ZEFNET app to ease the payment process for EV drivers.”
Vice President of Customer Services and Technology, Mr. Sacha Tibbetts stated, “CUC is committed to providing more options for cleaner transportation. The partnership with ZEF allows for the ease of access to multiple charging stations with easy to use software. The Company is also grateful to have local partners involved to be able to efficiently and professionally design and install the charging stations.”
Local businesses are invited to apply as charging space hosts, creating an opportunity to attract EV drivers to their establishments -https://mailchi.mp/cuc/cuc-electric-vehicle-charging-stations
