NASCAR installs EV chargers at Daytona Beach headquarters
NASCAR, in collaboration with Florida Power & Light’s EVolution commercial charging solutions and electrical powerhouse ABB, has completed the installation of 30 Level 2 EV chargers at its Daytona Beach headquarters. This is one step in the organization’s Impact plan, which aims to reduce NASCAR’s carbon footprint to zero across its core operations by 2035.
The new EV chargers are for employee and industry use, and will facilitate NASCAR’s transition to electric fleet vehicles. While there are no firm plans yet for an electric racing series, NASCAR has a large fleet of trucks, cars, golf carts and specialty vehicles, and many or all of these can be electrified.
“NASCAR has made material commitments to sustainable operations across its entire business,” said Riley Nelson, Head of Sustainability at NASCAR. “FPL and ABB will provide NASCAR with valuable guidance, reliable equipment and the support needed to electrify key elements of our operation.”
“NASCAR is leading the way on electrification and Daytona is another significant step forward” said John Stahlbusch, VP of Sales, North America at ABB E-mobility, a founding partner of NASCAR Impact. “Electrifying real estate like parking at NASCAR headquarters puts these assets to work, accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility.”
“ABB helps industries run leaner and cleaner,” said Khalid Mandri, ABB Division President. “The ABB NASCAR Electrification Partnership explores strategic opportunities for electrification throughout the sport, including race vehicles, charging infrastructure and energy education.”
