EV Chargers Restored at Waterford School: How Low-Maintenance EV Chargers Support Faculty, Staff, and the School Community  

As electric vehicles become more common among educators and families, school EV chargers are increasingly viewed as a valuable campus amenity. Waterford School partnered with IntelliCharge to restore reliable, intelligent EV charging after its previous system became unsupported—leaving usable hardware but no way to operate it. 

Working alongside Leaders for Clean Air, IntelliCharge transformed the school’s existing chargers into a low-maintenance EV charging system that supports faculty and staff today while remaining flexible for future expansion. 

The Challenge: When EV Chargers Stop Working—but the Hardware Remains 

Waterford School faced a situation common across educational institutions: charging hardware was installed and functional, but the original software platform was no longer supported. 

The school needed a solution that could: 

• Restore operability without replacing chargers 

• Provide secure, staff-only access 

• Minimize ongoing maintenance and administrative effort 

• Offer visibility into usage and energy consumption 

For schools, EV charging must be reliable, simple to manage, and cost-effective over the long term. 

The Solution: IntelliCharge for Low-Maintenance School EV Charging 

IntelliCharge delivered a tailored solution that integrated seamlessly with Waterford School’s existing EV chargers—bringing them back online through a modern, intelligent platform. 

The result was a secure, staff-only EV charging system with real-time monitoring, consistent performance, and minimal maintenance requirements.

The Results: Reliable EV Charging with Minimal Overhead 

With IntelliCharge in place, Waterford School converted unusable chargers into a dependable campus amenity. 

Outcomes Achieved 

• Restored school EV chargers without replacing hardware

Why Low-Maintenance EV Chargers Matter for Schools 

Educational institutions often operate with limited facilities resources. Low-maintenance EV chargers allow schools to: 

• Offer EV charging without increasing workload 

• Control access and energy use 

• Extend the life of existing infrastructure 

• Plan confidently for future growth 

Whether supporting staff today or expanding to EV chargers for parents or public EV chargers tomorrow, intelligent software is the foundation.
