What Dunamis Charge does
Dunamis Charge, Inc. is a Detroit-rooted EV charging hardware and software company that designs, manufactures, and assembles Level 2 (residential and commercial) and DC Fast chargers in the United States, with Build America, Buy America compliance, UL and EnergyStar certifications, and OCPP 1.6/2.0 interoperability. Its product portfolio spans single-port residential wall-mount units, single/dual/quad-port commercial stations with touchscreen interfaces and multiple authentication methods, and DC Fast systems with static or dynamic power management, all integrated with the Driivz (Vontier) smart charging and energy management platform for real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, over-the-air updates, and load balancing. A patent-pending residential charger with energy storage colocation is targeted for 2026 launch.
The company generates revenue through four streams: one-time hardware sales (L2 and DC Fast), recurring software/network fees per connected charger via Driivz, professional services for installation and commissioning through EVITP-certified partners, and end-user charging session fees on its network. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, with substantial customer-side economics driven by utility rebates (notably DTE Energy programs offering up to $70,000 per DC Fast charger and $2,500–$14,400 per L2 port). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a community-led 'Communities in Charge' equity program, a website-driven order funnel with free site-readiness and ROI analysis, and partnerships with utilities and minority-business accelerator programs (Apple, Stellantis, EY-recognized).
Dunamis Charge serves a diversified buyer set: commercial property owners and managers (multifamily, retail, parking), fleet operators and high-volume businesses (delivery, rideshare, municipal), single-family homeowners (forthcoming), government and municipalities focused on underserved communities, and hospitality/retail venues seeking dwell-time monetization. Its named enterprise customer base is narrow, with DTE Energy as the primary disclosed utility partner following the 2025 'Communities in Charge' pilot deploying 56 chargers at 26 Detroit locations. The company differentiates on regulatory positioning (first Black woman-owned EV charging manufacturer globally, federal SDB set-asides), U.S. manufacturing, and equity-focused distribution, while relying on Driivz for software intelligence.
