EV infrastructure developer 3V3i has completed a commercial fast-charging site in Oklahoma City’s Bricktown district in just five business days. The project, built for EV charging network IONNA, cut the company’s previous 10-day benchmark in half. 3V3i credits its prefabricated manufacturing model and integrated design-construction process for the accelerated timeline.
Highlights
- 3V3i completed the IONNA supercharging site in five business days, half its previous deployment record
- The company uses prefabricated charging infrastructure to reduce onsite construction complexity
- Faster deployment timelines are becoming critical as thousands of new charging sites are needed annually to support EV adoption
- IONNA, Red E Charging, and Waymo’s charging initiatives are among networks expanding rapidly across the U.S.
Prefab Model Cuts Deployment Timelines
The accelerated build relied on 3V3i’s approach of manufacturing charging infrastructure components offsite. This prefab model reduces the complexity and duration of onsite construction work. The company also integrates engineering design and construction planning into a single streamlined process.
A company spokesperson said the prefab manufacturing model allows charging networks to significantly reduce construction timelines and lower project costs. The approach brings charging capacity online faster than traditional builds, which can take months.
Infrastructure Expansion Pressures Drive Demand
Industry analysts estimate that thousands of new charging sites must be deployed each year to keep pace with accelerating EV adoption. As automakers and charging providers work to expand national coverage, faster construction timelines are a growing priority.
Networks including IONNA, Red E Charging, and Waymo’s charging operations are scaling their U.S. footprints. 3V3i’s model positions the company to support that expansion by compressing project schedules and improving return on investment for charging operators.
