Midwestern Wheels, a licensee of Avis Budget Group, is working with EV charging provider ChargePoint to deliver EV charging to its rental car customers and local residents.
New public charging hubs at Midwestern Wheels’ airport and local market rental car branches in Appleton and Madison, Wisconsin are open to the public.
Multiple stations feature the ChargePoint Omni Port, the company’s adaptable charging solution that allows any new EV to be charged without adapters. All stations are managed by the new ChargePoint Platform, ChargePoint’s next-generation software solution.
“By opening their chargers up to the public, Midwestern Wheels has maximized utilization and accelerated their return on investment while increasing their brand awareness in the local community,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO at ChargePoint. “Midwestern Wheels’ deployment of ChargePoint solutions, particularly our Omni Port, has futureproofed their infrastructure by ensuring its customers and communities can charge when and where they need to, without having to dedicate parking spaces to specific EV connector types.”
“As EV adoption continues, we have created a unique win-win experience by offering EV charging to the public and our rental car customers in addition to our internal fleet charging needs,” said Bill Wallschlaeger, President, Midwestern Wheels. “Our Appleton and Madison charging stations not only simplify the process for our rental EVs, but will serve public EV drivers in each community.”
