Skycharger

What Skycharger does

Skycharger is a privately held EV charging infrastructure developer and operator headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 2013 as a subsidiary of Skyview Ventures, which also owns and operates more than 150 solar and battery storage projects. The company builds, owns, and operates EV charging stations in strategic locations across the United States, with a portfolio of more than 700 stations and 500,000+ lifetime charging sessions across six states. Skycharger's platform integrates solar arrays, battery storage, and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability (operational since 2022) into its charging hub designs, with a stated technical focus on maximizing charging capacity within power supply constraints.

The company sells through two core product lines. The first, Charging Solutions, is an end-to-end managed service covering development, ownership, financing, and operations of charging infrastructure for passenger vehicles, fleets, and heavy-duty trucks, with pricing structured as custom multi-year enterprise contracts and no upfront capital expense to the customer. The second, Trucking-as-a-Service, is a recurring-revenue zero-risk electric truck leasing program in which Skycharger pays the capital cost and technology risk and delivers fully charged, maintained vehicles to fleet operators. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting municipalities, ports, airports, fleet operators, trucking companies, and businesses, often structured around public grant and incentive programs such as the NEVI Formula Program and California Energy Commission awards, of which Skycharger has secured over $42 million cumulatively in 2024-2025.

Skycharger's customer base includes large institutional and government accounts: Port of San Diego (70-port Tidelands EHub), PepsiCo/FritoLay (132 stations supporting 126 electric trucks at the LA MEGA site in Torrance), San Francisco International Airport (24-port hub at 400kW per station), and BriarPatch Food Co-op in Grass Valley, California. The company is led by Founder and CEO Andy Karetsky alongside COO Johannes Copeland, CDO John Friedrich, and Managing Director Nick Stoker, and has stated a goal of exceeding 1,000 stations nationwide by 2027.
