What PositivEnergy does

PositivEnergy (legally Positive Energy Inc., a Delaware-incorporated company headquartered at 1221 Brickell Avenue, Suite 900, Miami, FL) is a private EV charging and energy storage infrastructure provider founded in 2017. The company designs, deploys, and operates turnkey charging networks under a Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) model, serving municipalities, airports, universities, fleet operators, commercial enterprises, and real estate developers across the United States, with one Caribbean microgrid deployment. Its core technology stack includes PositivAssess (an AI-assisted site selection platform that has modeled 15,000 EV charging sites), PositivPower (a high-power battery energy storage system designed to reduce peak demand charges by up to 50% and provide resiliency), proprietary EV charging software for real-time pricing, load management, and remote diagnostics, and a hardware lineup spanning Level 2 AC chargers (9.6-19.2kW), Level 3 DC fast chargers (50kW-360kW+ with vehicle-to-grid capability and Made-in-USA options), and mobile/relocatable charging units. The PositivEnergy Driver App (iOS/Android) extends the platform to end drivers for station location, session monitoring, and payments, integrated with Braintree.

The business operates across multiple revenue streams: managed-services CaaS contracts (multi-year, bundling hardware, software, installation, and 24/7 support), direct hardware sales of Level 2/Level 3 and mobile chargers, subscription-based software and network services, professional electrification consulting, and battery energy storage hardware. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales to city officials and fleet managers, channel leverage through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract (awarded September 2023, valid through July 2027) reaching 50,000+ government, education, and non-profit members, event-driven demand generation at industry trade shows, and partner referrals (notably Battle Motors for 180 truck dealers and Rubicon for 8,000 haulers). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Headcount is reported at 11-50 (one source citing 9), making PositivEnergy a small team relative to its contracted footprint of 1,000+ charging ports across 100+ municipal and commercial engagements, including marquee customers such as the City of Philadelphia (435 ports under the ChargePHL program), Waste Management, Tapestry, Inter Miami CF, Seattle Kraken, Johns Hopkins University, Arizona State University, and a major Caribbean hospital (1MW/5MWh microgrid).
