The Now Corporation’s subsidiary to install high-capacity 200 kW DC fast chargers, driving clean energy adoption in Southern California
CARSON, Calif., March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Now Corporation (OTC: NWPN), a forward-thinking holding company focused on innovative and sustainable technologies, is proud to announce a significant milestone achieved by its subsidiary, Green Rain Solar Inc. Green Rain Solar has been selected to lead the installation of a state-of-the-art Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at 23315 Main Street in Carson, California.
This project, which includes installing three high-capacity EV chargers, is a testament to Green Rain Solar’s commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and supporting the transition to electric mobility. The charging stations will feature cutting-edge DC fast chargers capable of delivering up to 200 kW of power, enabling rapid charging for electric vehicles and reducing downtime for drivers.
Key Highlights of the Project:
-
Three 200 kW DC Fast Chargers: Designed to provide efficient and reliable charging for electric vehicles, these chargers will support the growing demand for EV infrastructure in Southern California.
-
Sustainable Design: The project adheres to the latest California Building Codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, ensuring safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance.
-
Strategic Location: Situated on Main Street in Carson, the charging stations will serve as a critical hub for EV drivers in the region, offering convenient access to fast charging.
-
Partnership with Southern California Edison: Green Rain Solar will collaborate with Southern California Edison (SCE) to ensure seamless utility interconnection and operational efficiency.
Qualified Under Southern California Edison’s Rule 29:
The project qualifies under “SCE’s Rule 29”, an optional tariff designed to simplify and reduce the cost of deploying EV infrastructure for commercial, industrial, and multi-family projects. Rule 29 allows SCE to coordinate and pay for the design and deployment of eligible electrical service extension work, including:
- Planning, design, and engineering.
- Installation of underground service conductors, service transformers, and utility-owned metering equipment.
- Trenching, excavation, and substructures.
By leveraging Rule 29, Green Rain Solar and The Now Corporation are able to streamline the installation process, reduce upfront costs, and accelerate the deployment of EV charging infrastructure in Carson.
Air Quality and Environmental Benefits:
The Carson EV charging project is expected to have a significant positive impact on local air quality by encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles, which produce zero tailpipe emissions. This aligns with California’s broader clean air initiatives and supports the state’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving public health.
