Future Fuels

What Future Fuels does

Future Fuels is a privately held, family-owned small business founded in 2021 and headquartered in Lexington, South Carolina, that sells, installs, and services turnkey electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. The company primarily serves automotive dealerships navigating manufacturer EV-mandate compliance, corporate and pharmaceutical clients installing employee or fleet charging, residential homeowners, and government and educational entities pursuing grant-funded deployments. Its customer footprint is concentrated across the Southeastern United States (the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Alabama), with global product distribution capability layered on through OEM partnerships.

Future Fuels' product portfolio spans Level 1 home chargers, Level 2 AC chargers (40A), DC fast chargers in 30kW, 60kW, 120kW, and 150kW configurations, and one-person-portable mobile DC fast charging units. Its flagship offering is a proprietary DC fast charger line co-developed with Power Innovations International that accepts multiple input voltages and operates without requiring 480V service, materially reducing site electrical upgrade costs. The lineup also resells chargers from EV Gateway and Tellus Power Green under exclusive distribution arrangements. Core technology is OCPP-compliant, allowing charger owners to monetize usage via RFID-authenticated network access. The company holds no patents or trademarks on record and operates with an 11-employee team.

The business generates revenue through six streams: one-time hardware sales, turnkey installation services delivered via certified installer partners (Midlands Electrical, South Tech Systems, Franks Electric), preventive and corrective maintenance, system leasing with annual technology refresh, OCPP network transaction fees, and government incentive and grant consulting. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and lead times currently sit at 20-24 weeks for most hardware orders, signaling supply-constrained demand.
