About the company:

EV Realty accelerates the adoption of commercial EV fleets by focusing on the fundamental constraint all electrified fleets will face: low-cost, reliable and scalable access to grid-scale power.

Today’s electrical grid is complex, dynamic and ever evolving. It is also the source of fuel that will power the world’s shift to electrified transportation, requiring nearly 100 GWh of additional annual electricity demand and $125B of investment in EV chargers, grid infrastructure, transmission lines, renewable energy and storage in the U.S. by 2030.

But securing grid access and capacity to deploy significant additional EV charging load is a challenge, with desired charging locations often requiring lengthy, expensive and under-utilized infrastructure upgrades, if feasible at all.

Unless you know where – and how – to look.

EV Realty combines commercial real estate and project siting acumen with energy markets and grid optimization expertise to identify, design and build out the premier DC Fast Charging infrastructure platform for commercial EV fleets.

About Us

EV Realty develops, deploys and owns charging infrastructure critical to electrifying commercial fleets in

the U.S at scale. The company accelerates the adoption of large EV fleets by focusing on the

fundamental constraint all electric fleets face: low-cost, reliable and expandable access to grid-scale

power. EV Realty is developing a network of grid-optimized, large-scale EV charging hubs for delivery,

logistics and services fleet customers. Our Powered PropertiesTM serve multiple commercial fleets in

secure, high-power locations with dedicated charging access and availability, and are located proximate

to major logistics corridors within last-mile delivery/duty range of population centers. By aggregating

multiple fleets with shared private infrastructure in grid-ready locations, EV Realty charging hubs reduce

upfront and recurring costs for fleet operators, optimize charging times and provide high utilization

rates.

We deliver exceptional outcomes for our customers by investing in the best people, partnerships and

projects. We are inherently optimistic and believe in the power of system-level change. We

communicate thoughtfully, problem-solve rigorously and seek to continuously do better. And we

deliver on our commitments. We are looking to collaborate with passionate, thoughtful people who

want to make a real impact.

Come join our team and help drive the transition to a zero-carbon transportation future. Learn more
