What Chargie does

Chargie is a private EV charging infrastructure company headquartered in Culver City, California, that delivers turnkey Level 2 and Level 3 charging deployments to multifamily, commercial, healthcare, education, hospitality, government, and fleet customers, primarily in California with growing operations in Nevada, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and Utah. The company operates an integrated hardware-plus-software-plus-services stack: own-brand Level 2 chargers (32A and 48A ISO variants) and resold Level 3 DC fast chargers from ABB, Tritium, and BTC Power; a web-based Management Platform for property managers; a Fleet Platform for depot operators; and a driver-facing mobile app on iOS and Android, all backed by a 24/7 Network Operations Center reporting 98%+ availability.

The business model combines four monetization streams: hardware resale (low-margin, project-based), professional installation and turnkey project services, recurring subscription and managed-services revenue from the management and fleet software platforms, and transactional charging session fees collected from EV drivers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large property owners and managers (Greystar, Bell Partners, Brookfield, Amazon Ring, Kaiser Permanente, CSUN), augmented by referral channels through utility rebate programs at Southern California Edison and LADWP. Charging infrastructure is operated under contracts where property owners capture rebates and incentives — Chargie cites over $100 million in client savings and 22,000+ chargers installed across 1,200+ properties.

A defining feature of Chargie's model is its utility-program entrenchment: the company serves as General Manager of SCE's $436 million Charge Ready program and the LADWP EV charging program, and has received two California Energy Commission grants totaling $9.3 million to deploy over 1,000 stations across roughly 50 multifamily communities, with explicit low-income and disadvantaged community targets. The leadership team is heavily staffed with ex-Comcast, ex-Amazon Ring, ex-Boingo Wireless, ex-EarthLink, ex-DIRECTV, ex-Disney, and ex-NINJIO operators, and the founder Zach Jennings previously served as SVP of Operations at PCS Energy, the largest commercial solar installer in Los Angeles, with his father Paul Jennings (founder of PCS Development) on the board. The company is privately held as a Delaware LLC with no disclosed external institutional ownership.

The company bundles proprietary Level 2 AC chargers (32A and 48A ISO), third-party Level 3 DC fast chargers (ABB, Tritium, BTC Power AiO and Fleet), and an Autel Level 2 (50A ISO) option with the Chargie Management Platform, Fleet Platform, and Mobile App. It also provides end-to-end deployment services covering site survey, design, permitting, installation, network setup, and ongoing 24/7 monitoring and maintenance.

Product overview

The hardware portfolio also includes third-party Level 3 DC fast chargers from ABB, Tritium, and BTC Power (AiO and Fleet models), plus the Autel Level 2 as a supplementary Level 2 option. Chargie's own Level 2 chargers (32A and 48A ISO) form the primary residential and multifamily offering, while the Level 3 DC fast chargers serve commercial and fleet customers requiring rapid charging. The Management Platform serves property owners and operators, the Fleet Platform addresses fleet depot use cases, and the Mobile App provides the driver-facing interface.

Scale indicators16 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Enphase Energy: Enphase sells solar microinverters, batteries, and now bidirectional EV chargers via its IQ EV Charger, targeting residential and small commercial customers. Overlaps with Chargie on EV charging and energy management for property owners but with a solar/battery-anchored stack.
• Span Energy: Span develops smart electrical panels that enable dynamic load management for EV chargers, solar, and batteries at the home or building level. Overlaps with Chargie's CPMS/load-management value proposition at the property edge.

Broad incumbents

• Shell Recharge Solutions (formerly Greenlots / Volta): Shell Recharge is the global charging arm of Shell, offering hardware, software, and network services across North America and Europe. Comparable to Chargie on enterprise charging deployments and CPMS, but with significantly larger capital base and brand.
• Tesla Energy / Supercharger: Tesla operates the largest US DC fast charging network and sells home Level 2 chargers, increasingly opening up to non-Tesla vehicles. Comparable in EV charging network operations, though Tesla's owned-network economics differ from Chargie's property-owner-hosted model.

Others

• ABB E-mobility: ABB E-mobility is a global manufacturer of DC fast chargers and a key Chargie hardware partner (ABB DC Level 3). Comparable as an EV charging technology provider, though operating upstream as an OEM rather than a CPMS/installer.

Direct peers

• Blink Charging: Blink manufactures, owns, and operates EV charging equipment and networks globally, including Level 2 and DC fast chargers for multifamily, workplace, and retail. Directly comparable in product mix, target verticals, and equipment ownership model.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is a leading EV charging network operator and CPMS provider serving commercial, multifamily, and fleet customers with both Level 2 and DC fast chargers. Most directly comparable to Chargie in target customer (property owners/fleets), software-led model, and turnkey services.
• EVgo: EVgo is one of the largest US public DC fast charging networks, operating owned-and-operated charging stations. Comparable to Chargie on the charging network operator / CPMS axis, though more DC fast and public-site focused versus Chargie's multifamily tilt.
• Wallbox: Wallbox designs and manufactures smart Level 2 EV chargers and energy management solutions for residential and commercial use. Comparable on the Level 2 hardware and smart-charging software side, though more product-led and less of a full turnkey installer than Chargie.
• FLO Services: FLO is a North American EV charging network operator and hardware manufacturer offering Level 2 and DC fast chargers with a vertically integrated CPMS. Comparable to Chargie on hardware-software-services bundling for property owners and fleets.
