Andrew Lesa, Vice President-Operations Epic Wireless Group is a leading service provider in the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, 5G wireless telecommunication, and fiber installation industries. Epic provides full turnkey services to companies looking to develop EV charging infrastructure. Epic has a core competency in supporting companies large and small in achieving infrastructure solutions that best meet both short and long-term needs. With over 20 years of experience providing site acquisition and construction management services across the industry, Epic is poised to fully support the development of EV charging infrastructure throughout the western US, a necessary requirement for the successful evolution of automobiles from combustion to a zero-emission environment.
Epic works closely with its clients to develop a well-reasoned approach to a build out strategy and is intimately involved in identifying project locations where success is more likely. A successful project begins with site identification and feasibility services to determine suitable locations for EV charging stations. Utilizing experience and relationships it has developed, Epic quickly and effectively identifies potential locations, acting as an outsourced development arm of its clients. It then works with landowners to solidify the relationship and secures property rights that are necessary to move to the next stage of development.
The team handholds clients through the permit procurement process for the station’s design and development, drawing on its long-standing relationships with local jurisdictions.
Once approved for construction, Epic’s construction management experts oversee the selected contractor to ensure the facility is built to industry standards. Epic’s long-standing relationships with local utility providers ensure timely and effective coordination to bring power to the new facility.
“Epic’s ability to bring a charging station quickly and efficiently through every step from concept to reality sets us apart from other service providers who don’t have the local knowledge and experience we have earned over the last 20 years," says Dirk Dudgeon, Epic’s president and owner. "We have seen many companies struggle with local rules and regulations that cause them to get bogged down in unnecessary details, which slows the rollout effort.”
