Why Evanston
Why Evanston fleets buy charging as a service.
Evanston is home to Northwestern University and a dense downtown just north of Chicago. University, city and delivery fleets need charging in a city with limited space for new electrical service.
Utility
ComEd
Most sites in Evanston are served by ComEd. A permanent depot here means a ComEd service application, design, permits and construction before the first charge. CaaS connects to what the site already has, or runs without it.
Where fleets run
Northwestern University
Yards near Northwestern University, Downtown Evanston and along Sheridan Road, Chicago Avenue, I-94 (Edens Spur) get charging on site, so vehicles do not detour to a public hub between routes.
How you pay
Per kWh or per dispenser
Hardware, energy, maintenance and 24/7 monitoring sit inside one rate for your Evanston site. Add dispensers as the fleet grows, or move blocks to another Illinois yard under the same agreement.

FAQ
Evanston Charging-as-a-Service questions.
What is fleet Charging-as-a-Service in Evanston?
It's fleet charging you buy as a service instead of building. MegaWatts delivers megawatt-class charging blocks and dispensers to your yard in Evanston, supplies the energy, runs the site 24/7 and bills per kWh or per dispenser. There's no equipment to purchase and no ComEd service upgrade to wait for.
How is Charging-as-a-Service priced in Evanston?
Per kWh delivered, with energy included, or per dispenser, with energy passed through at cost. The rate, term and any minimum are set in a quote that follows a free Site Power Plan for your address.
Do we still need ComEd to upgrade our service?
No. Blocks carry battery storage and can connect to the service you already have, or run without one. Most sites in Evanston are served by ComEd. If you're also planning a permanent ComEd-connected depot, CaaS charges the fleet until it's energized, then the blocks move.
Can we combine CaaS with Illinois incentives?
Yes. Vehicle and make-ready programs such as ComEd Business & Public Sector Make-Ready rebates and ComEd Business & Public Sector EV Purchase rebates are separate from charging service. Vehicle rebates lower the truck cost; CaaS removes the charger purchase. We confirm current eligibility for your address in the Site Power Plan.
