Noco unveiled four new EV charging plugs at the full-service energy company’s headquarters located at 2440 Sheridan Drive in Tonawanda. The Level 2 plugs are available for use by both Noco employees and the public.  

The project was partially funded by National Grid’s EV Make-Ready Program. Through the program National Grid provided incentives that represented approximately 90% of material and labor costs. National Grid’s Upstate New York EV Make-Ready Program helps business customers fund up to 100% of project costs related to installing electricity infrastructure. The company plans to invest more than $150 million in Make-Ready incentives to install 9,000 plugs across Upstate New York by the end of 2025.

“EV charging as a workplace amenity for its employees is just one way companies like Noco can demonstrate leadership within the clean energy transition,” said Whitney Skeans, National Grid’s EV Make-Ready Program manager. “It also demonstrates Noco’s corporate commitment to sustainable transportation, appreciating the fast-expanding EV driver community and opportunities to service it. As limited funds remain, we look forward to coordinating future EV projects with Noco, its customers throughout the region, and any National Grid business customer looking to do the same.”

“As we move forward with adding EV charging installations to our service portfolio, we first needed to start with us; having them available at our company headquarters,” said Michael Casciano, Noco's president and chief operating officer. “This is just another way we are committed to meeting the evolving energy needs of our customers. As we prioritize sustainable energy solutions, being able to now assist customers with their EV charging needs continues our growth into new non-carbon business lines.”
