CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atom Power, the pioneer in solid-state breaker electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, has partnered with L.A. LIVE, the downtown Los Angeles sports and entertainment district, to install 48 Atom EV charging ports on L.A. LIVE’s campus. Through this partnership, L.A. LIVE will more than triple the number of EV chargers currently available on-site, significantly expanding access for visitors.
Entertainment venues across the country — from stadiums to amusement parks — are starting to introduce EV charging solutions, but they’re often limited to only a handful of chargers per site. While this is a promising start, it’s not nearly enough to support the capacity at these venues or the growing demand for EVs. With this installation, Atom Power and L.A. LIVE are setting a new standard for the entertainment industry — one that ensures reliable charging for all guests and supports the global energy transition.
“One of the biggest hurdles to widespread EV adoption is the lack of access to reliable public charging. Drivers want assurance that they’ll be able to charge their vehicles wherever they go. Right now, that need isn’t being met,” said Ryan Kennedy, co-founder and CEO of Atom Power. “Installing Atom EV chargers at L.A. LIVE allows us to go beyond just addressing the demand for EV charging. We're elevating the entire destination experience, starting the moment guests pull into L.A. LIVE’s parking garage.”
L.A. LIVE selected Atom Power as its preferred charging partner because of the company’s unmatched reliability and advanced energy management capabilities. Atom Power’s EV charging solution leverages solid-state digital circuit breaker technology to charge vehicles from a centralized panel, enabling built-in notification control and expedited response times, on-premise and cloud-based asset and power management, and comprehensive cybersecurity.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Atom Power to provide new and additional EV chargers throughout L.A. LIVE,” said Jim Madsen, Senior Vice President, Operations at L.A. LIVE. “Our guests and fans have been asking for us to increase our EV charging stations and we took our time to research and find the best partner for our needs. We look forward to working with Atom Power and providing an easy and efficient EV charging solution for our guests in our Olympic West and Olympic East Parking Garages.”
Atom Power completed the project in August 2023 with the installation of 24 dual-port Atom EV chargers across L.A. LIVE’s two parking garages.
