Grant Recipients

Dustin Ledo, owner of Fat Batter Ice Cream, had been resigned to using a loud generator due to the cost of upgrading to a power station. But when he saw the RAQC's food truck electrification grant, he was the first business to take advantage of it. Now, his truck runs quietly and efficiently using two EcoFlow batteries, purchased from Costco and Outbound Power. They stack onto each other to save space, and provide 8kWh of power, with the option to stack on even more. When Dustin isn't running AC, his batteries can keep his truck powered for 10-16 hours. He also purchased an alternator charger from Amazon.

Alex Maloof, owner of Cafe Alejandro, is very happy with his newly electrified coffee truck. "It's incredibly empowering to know that I have the self-sustained power I need to get through my shift (or 2!), be silent, not emit any noxious fumes, not be NOISY NOISY NOISY, and that it has completely changed how my business is run and operates and I couldn't be happier."

​

Alex worked with Joule Case to develop a custom power solution for his truck. He now has two 9kWh battery stations, with a control module/invertor. It was installed in Denver by Van Life Customs.

Jigo Tighrine's Amore Pizza Truck is a late night favorite - and now it is completely electrified!

Jigo purchased two EcoFlow 12kWh power stations and four add-on batteries to meet his high energy needs from Amazon. He's more than happy with the result; he's had sufficient power even in freezing temperatures.

Jorge Dominguez, owner of Arepas House, was ecstatic when he first started using his newly electrified truck. "The system is AWESOME. I couldn’t believe it until I saw it running and man it is GREAT."

​

Jorge partnered with Joule Case, a company that specializes in designing custom power stations for food trucks. Because his truck requires so much power, Jorge purchased three 9kWh battery stations with a 6.5kW inverter/charger. The system was installed by Flaugher Generator & RV Solutions in Denver. He also needed some electrical work done by Stewart Electrical to install the correct outlets.
