What Smart Charge America does

Smart Charge America is an Austin, Texas-based EV charging infrastructure company founded in 2007 that sells, installs, and services Level 2 and DC fast charging stations for residential, commercial, municipal, and utility customers across 38 US cities. The company operates as a hardware-agnostic installer certified across major OEMs including Tesla, ChargePoint, Ford Pro, ABB, Tritium, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Blink, and ClipperCreek, while also offering its own branded SCA40 Level 2 charger powered by Xeal technology. Its technical scope spans single-family home installations through multi-port commercial deployments and high-power DC fast charging stations up to 350 kW, plus Tesla Powerwall and Powershare home energy installations.

The company generates revenue through four primary streams: one-time hardware sales and installation services for residential and commercial customers, transaction-based Managed Charging services (with owners receiving a 40% net revenue share), recurring Smart Care Service Plan (SCSP) subscriptions on 2-5 year non-cancellable terms, and Tesla-certified Supercharger deployments for commercial hosts. Pricing is quote-based and varies widely, from approximately $448-$598 per residential charger unit to $3,000-$8,000 per commercial Level 2 port and $80,000-$215,000 per DC fast charging station depending on power output. Go-to-market is sales-led with dedicated quote workflows for residential, commercial, and municipal buyers, supplemented by a Dealer Direct Program in Houston, Sacramento, and Salt Lake City that bundles home charging packages into auto loan financing at partner dealerships.

Smart Charge America's operational footprint extends to 38 installation cities and 50 managed charging cities across all six major US census regions. Named customers include City of Austin, City of Pflugerville, NASA, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon, Whole Foods, Marriott, Four Seasons, and Austin Subaru. The company was founded and is led by Joseph Barletta as Founder and CEO. As a privately held company with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, it operates as an independently owned master electrician services firm with a 3+ year industry-leading installation warranty and 99%+ uptime goals on managed commercial deployments.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• ABB E-mobility: ABB E-mobility is a major global manufacturer of DC fast chargers (including the Terra 53 CJ sold and installed by Smart Charge America). Relevant as an upstream supplier and partner that could potentially disintermediate the installation layer.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla Energy / Tesla Charging: Tesla's energy and Supercharger business installs and services its own Wall Connector, Powerwall, Powershare, and Supercharger products. As Smart Charge America's flagship OEM partner and a customer of its installation services, Tesla is both partner and potential disintermediator.

Emerging players
