NASCAR, in collaboration with Florida Power & Light Company’s EVolution commercial charging solutions and ABB, recently announced the installation of 30 level 2 electric vehicle chargers at its Daytona Beach headquarters.
According to a press release, this is a step forward in the organization’s commitment to sustainability through NASCAR IMPACT, a plan that aims to reduce NASCAR’s carbon footprint to zero across NASCAR core operations by 2035. The new EV chargers are for employee and industry use and will facilitate NASCAR's transition to electric fleet vehicles.
“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.”
FPL provided the level 2 chargers for Daytona Speedway headquarters through its FPL EVolution commercial charging solutions, helping NASCAR add 30 EV charging ports to its facility.
Last summer, electrification and automation manufacturing company ABB and NASCAR announced the ABB NASCAR Electrification Innovation Partnership, which aims to explore high-performance electric racing and create opportunities for electrification in the sport, from race cars, infrastructures and STEM education. Two of ABB's manufacturing facilities are located in Ormond Beach.
“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.”
NASCAR is exploring sustainable racing fuels, expanded recycling programs at tracks, and energy-efficient technologies at its facilities under the NASCAR IMPACT program.
“NASCAR is leading the way on electrification and Daytona is another significant step forward," said John Stahlbusch, vice president of sales, North America at ABB E-mobility, and founding partner of NASCAR IMPACT. "Electrifying real estate like parking at NASCAR headquarters puts these assets to work, accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility."
