As one of the world’s most influential financial institutions, Bank of America (BOA) had set bold targets around ESG and net-zero commitments. But leadership recognized that top-down goals alone weren’t enough—they needed on-the-ground action that embedded sustainability into employee behavior.

The opportunity came in the form of mobility. With rising EV adoption across India and increasing interest among BoA’s own employees, the question became: how do we turn campuses into enablers of electric mobility?

The challenge, however, was complex. BoA needed an EV charging solution that was secure, future-proof, and easy to scale—across locations with varying space constraints, regulatory landscapes, and technical readiness. It also had to be employee-exclusive, app-controlled, and provide clear reporting for internal ESG audits. And it needed to go live—fast.

Bank of America partnered with Bolt.Earth to deliver a solution that offered immediate functionality and long-term scalability. The goal: enable workplace EV charging that’s secure, intelligent, and operationally seamless.

Within months, 140 EV chargers were installed across four campuses—a balanced mix of Smart socket and 2W fast chargers to suit different user needs. Each charger was configured as “Restricted Access” on the Bolt.Earth app, ensuring secure, employee-only access. A four-hour usage cap encouraged turnover and fair usage during peak hours.

Bolt.Earth also integrated a custom Charging Management System (CMS) that enabled real-time performance monitoring, automated billing, and granular emissions tracking. These features reduced administrative complexity and helped BoA generate audit-ready ESG reports from day one.

What differentiated this rollout was not just the technology—it was the precision with which it was executed.Bolt.Earth began with deep site-level diagnostics, mapping charger locations to optimize space and electrical load. Regulatory approvals were secured in parallel to minimize delays, while installation aligned to global safety standards.

The rollout followed a tightly sequenced plan:
1. On-site installation and system configuration
2. Pre-launch testing and charger-level quality assurance
3. Live system validation through Bolt.Earth’s CMS
4. Hands-on employee onboarding sessions, covering EV protocols, app usage, and troubleshooting 5. Distribution of digital resources highlighting the benefits of EV adoption

From planning to go-live, the deployment took less than six months—a timeline few corporate EV rollouts of this scale can match. The result was a fully operational system that blended into BoA’s daily workflows, delivered measurable carbon savings, and laid the foundation for broader adoption across future sites.
