How Resorts World Casino Elevated Its EV Charging Capabilities

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, destinations like Resorts World Casino in Jamaica, NY, are seizing the opportunity to enhance their amenities by installing commercial EV charging infrastructure. Resorts World Casino aimed to provide accessible, eco-friendly charging options for its visitors, with plans to install 44 Level 2 charging ports open to the public.

The project required seamless planning, coordination with local utilities, and efficient installation to meet the casino’s high standards. Resorts World Casino partnered with Source Forward and DVM Industries to handle the entire process, ensuring the project was completed smoothly, on time, and within budget.
