Honors Flowing for Shorepower

The clean-tech industry is hot and the good news keeps coming at Shorepower. Over the past month, we have been honored in several business pitch competitions. Shorepower was named the overall winner of WPI Venture Forum’s annual elevator pitch contest held June 9th in Worcester, MA. Shorepower was also chosen to participate in the final rounds of the Pacific Northwest’s Clean Tech Open, the inaugural Pacific Northwest version of the national business plan competition. Shorepower is among 12 semi-finalists chosen from a field of 56, with the next round of winners picked in September. In addition to business seminars and mentoring, the final 12 also get to participate in a weekend training program in Palo Alto, Calif.

Shorepower is also a finalist candidate to supply hundreds of electric vehicle charging stations to the state of Oregon, as part of ARRA stimulus funding.  

Thanks for your continued support,

Fred Meyer Features Shorepower

Shorepower is proud to be a part of the newly remodeled "green" Fred Meyer on Hawthorne Blvd in Portland. Sporting a new Shorepower EV charging station, the remodel project is being designed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED standards, a first both for Fred Meyer and for its parent Kroger.

Fred Meyer, Inc. is a chain of 129 hypermarkets with 30,000 employees, and was one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping. It is owned by Kroger, a $70B grocery chain. 

Clean Energy Bill Passes

The American Clean Energy and Security Act or "ACES" recently passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 219-212, paving the way to more clean energy that will create jobs, help end our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, and combat global warming. ACES includes a cap-and-trade global warming reduction plan designed to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020. Other provisions include new renewable requirements for utilities, studies and incentives regarding new carbon capture and sequestration technologies, energy efficiency incentives for homes and buildings, and grants for green jobs, among other things.

TSE News

Anti-idling regulations continue to expand. Missouri, Texas, and New York City have recently updated their laws.The latest idling laws can be found here. To help meet anti-idling requirements, there are 136 Truck Stop Electrification sites in 34 States – nearly triple the number available in 2006. 

Over the next 60 days, the US Department of Energy will announce $700 million in Transportation Electrification grant awards. These grants will help Shorepower develop Truck Stop Electrification projects around the country.

If you own or run a truck stop and would like the opportunity to offset the cost of installation, please contact us. 

Going Postal

The US Postal Service is seriously considering converting it's fleet to electric-power, saving hundreds of millions of dollars in gasoline costs and providing clean mail delivery for the next century. 

The current postal delivery fleet (142,000 vehicles) delivers mail at a deplorable 9 miles per gallon with tremendous air pollution. Switching to all-electric with regenerative brakes would cost just 8 to 12 cents overall per mile, compared with 20 to 25 cents per mile for the current gas-powered delivery vehicles and save 68 million gallons of fuel annually, according to Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC).

Shorepower and it's sister company SynkroMotive are designing electric vehicle drive components and charging stations that could be part of the new and improved US Postal Fleet. To date, we've converted a VW Jetta, Nissan truck, Mitsubishi Eclipse and a Mini Cooper and hope to propose on new USPS vehicles.
