What Advanced Charging Technologies does

Advanced Charging Technologies (ACT), founded in 2009 and headquartered in Fountain Valley, California, designs and manufactures integrated battery charging and fleet management systems for electric material handling equipment (MHE) and airport ground support equipment (GSE), with more than 80,000 chargers deployed across 17 countries. Its product platform centers on the Quantum charger family — Quantum 2, Quantum 3 (96.4% peak / 96% cycle efficiency), Quantum Outdoor (NEMA 3R), and the forthcoming Air Quantum wireless system — paired with the ACTview cloud-based fleet analytics platform, Battview battery monitors, and software modules for managed monitoring (ACTintelligent), demand-response energy management (ACTenergy), and battery-room optimization via a proprietary BOFO algorithm (ACTfirst). Recent additions include Polarlink, a CARB-compliant connected power source for transport refrigeration units, extending the portfolio into cold-chain logistics. ACT monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales, multi-year software subscriptions, and managed services, distributed via an exclusive global dealer network, direct enterprise sales, and OEM partnerships, most notably a 2025 strategic investment from Toyota Material Handling North America that brought Toyota onto ACT's board. The company operates two manufacturing facilities (Fountain Valley, CA and San Antonio, TX), an engineering center in Oviedo, FL, and holds ISO 9001-2015 quality certification, multiple UL/cUL listings, and U.S. patents on its modular smart-grid charger and peak-shaving technologies.
