LilyPad EV

What LilyPad EV does

LilyPad EV is a turnkey EV charging infrastructure solutions provider operating across 44 U.S. states with 7,500+ charging ports installed since its founding in 2009. The company designs, engineers, installs, and maintains Level 2 and Level 3 (DC Fast) charging stations from multiple authorized OEM partners, including ChargePoint, Kempower, Evesco, TurnOnGreen, and Wayne PWR (Dover Fueling Solutions), alongside Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and mobile/portable charging solutions. Service offerings span site assessment, permitting, electrical capacity analysis, utility coordination, hardware procurement, construction, activation, and the ReadyCharge proactive maintenance program with a 98% annual uptime objective across three coverage tiers.

The business operates primarily through direct enterprise field sales targeting government agencies, fleet operators, utilities, retailers, auto dealerships, and multi-family housing, supplemented by an electrical contractor channel across all 50 states. Government sales are accelerated by two distinct procurement vehicles: the NACo Public Promise Procurement national contract (2025-2030, renewable to 2035) and listing on GSA Advantage, both of which allow public-sector buyers to procure without individual RFP processes. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, professional services (consulting, design/engineering, installation), and a recurring ReadyCharge maintenance annuity, with project-based custom pricing rather than published rate cards.

Since January 2022, LilyPad EV has operated as a subsidiary of Shields Harper & Co., a West Coast fueling equipment and parts distributor with a century of logistics and distribution expertise, providing supply chain leverage, national account pricing, and operational scale. The company is headquartered in Martinez, California, with leadership including CEO Niazi Alzouhbi and CFO Greg Brown, and references 101-250 employees. Financial details including revenue, funding, and valuation are not publicly disclosed.
