Fast and Convenient EV Charging

Centinel is excited to announce it has partnered with TRO Energy Solutions (TROES) as our “Level 2” electric vehicle (EV) charging partner. Residents have requested Level 2 EV charging because it’s safe, efficient, and much quicker than other charging alternatives. In fact, Level 2 charging can take as little as 5 to 6 hours to reach a full vehicle charge.  

Per the Department of the Army policy, plugging an EV directly into a standard home outlet (including the dryer outlet)—is no longer authorized in privatized housing. This change helps ensure safety and energy efficiency across all communities. 

For residents with electric vehicles interested in charging their vehicle at home, TROES will install, set up, and maintain your Level 2 charging station at eligible homes at no cost other than an affordable monthly subscription. There are NO out-of-pocket installation, setup or maintenance costs for residents that subscribe with TROES. 

Residents interested in having a Level 2 charging station installed at their home can take the following steps:   

• Visit https://troes.io to begin registration or click here.
• Select a ChargeTime plan that is right for you - there are 3 convenient packages available. This is a direct subscription between the resident and TROES.
• A TROES installation specialist will call you to verify your home is eligible for the service and coordinate the installation schedule.
• Once the EV charger is installed, you can conveniently manage usage, billing, scheduling and more through the ChargeTime app or by directly contacting TROES.
• Contact your community office to complete your Electric Vehicle lease addendum.
