What Cleantek does

Cleantek is a privately held, US-based engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm specializing in EV charging infrastructure, founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Pedro, California. The company delivers a single-source turnkey solution covering site assessments, electrical and civil engineering, permitting, construction, and ongoing service and maintenance, with fully in-house assessors, design engineers, project managers, and licensed construction crews. Its technical scope spans high-power DC fast charging (>150kW, including 360kW chargers and 4000A services for semi-truck depots), Level 2 AC stations, energy storage integration, solar design, ADA-compliant site design, and utility interconnection coordination. Cleantek holds California General Contractor (B) and Electrical Contractor (C-10) licenses and is SBA Certified as a Small Business.

Cleantek generates revenue primarily through one-time project-based EPC contracts for EV charging site buildouts, supplemented by recurring service and maintenance contracts and emergency call-out work. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting site hosts, fleet operators, property managers, and charging network operators, with engineering and assessment services available nationwide but construction operations concentrated in California. The customer base includes tier-1 names across the EV charging value chain: Shell, WattEV, Black & Veatch (for Electrify America), Tesla, EVgo (via Core States), and Volkswagen. Marquee projects include WattEV's 26-truck simultaneous charging facility at the Port of Long Beach, delivered from design to operation in 7 months, and 13 Shell-branded DCFC sites across Northern and Central California. The firm reports cumulative deployment of over 400 high-power (>150kW) DC fast charging stations and numerous Level 2 sites since inception, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external institutional investors.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Black & Veatch: Large global EPC firm that partners with Cleantek on Electrify America DCFC rollouts (7 sites) while also self-performing EV infrastructure EPC. Most directly comparable peer because they win and deliver the same type of turnkey DCFC site work for utility, fleet, and network-operator customers.

Broad incumbents

• Quanta Services: North America's largest utility infrastructure construction services company, deploying electric T&D, substation, and increasingly EV-charging infrastructure. Comparable at the broad EPC-services layer for utility-scale charging buildouts even though EV is a small slice of their portfolio.
• MYR Group: Public specialty electrical construction firm (T&D, commercial/industrial) that has expanded into EV charging infrastructure builds. Comparable in the high-power electrical construction and engineering services lane Cleantek operates in, though at much greater scale and geographic breadth.
• MasTec (incl. IEA Construction): Major infrastructure construction company whose IEA Construction subsidiary is a dedicated EV charging and electrical infrastructure installer. Direct overlap on EV charging site construction with multi-state mobilization capability that Cleantek currently lacks.
• Burns & McDonnell: 100% employee-owned engineering, architecture, and construction firm active in EV charging, power delivery, and transportation electrification. Competes for the same federal, utility, and private EV-charging EPC mandates across design-build scopes similar to Cleantek's.
• Mortenson Construction: Major U.S. construction firm with a dedicated EV charging infrastructure practice serving utilities, OEMs, and site hosts. Comparable as a turnkey EPC for high-power charging sites including energy storage and solar integration.
• EMCOR Group: Public mechanical & electrical construction services firm with an energy and infrastructure services group that performs EV charging installations and electrical infrastructure upgrades. Comparable as a specialty electrical services provider with broader geographic footprint.

Others

• Tesla (Energy / Supercharger build): OEM and Supercharger network operator that is both a customer of Cleantek (5 California DCFC sites) and a partial competitor when it self-performs site construction. Included because the relationship shows competing/co-building dynamics in the high-power DCFC market.

Emerging players

• ABM Industries: Facility services and infrastructure firm with an EV charging installation and maintenance practice. Comparable as a scaled installer/operator with national footprint, though EV is a small and growing slice of their portfolio.
• Willdan Group: Public professional services and energy solutions firm providing engineering, program management, and EV charging infrastructure deployment (via Lime Energy). Comparable at the energy-engineering and program-deployment layer that supports utility make-ready and site-host EV projects.
