What G9EV does
G9EV LLC is a privately held US manufacturer of commercial Level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), founded in 2019 by Frank von Holzhausen and Ed Gilchrest and based in Southbury, Connecticut, where all products are designed, manufactured, and assembled in a facility co-located with its sister company Gyre9. The company's core product lines are the Legacy EVSE series (32A, 40A, 48A, and 80A Level 2 configurations), the smaller-form-factor Firefly EVSE, and the Initium DC fast charger, complemented by the PedestalOne universal mount, the PedestalOneCMS cable management pedestal with integrated retractor, and custom-branding services. Its technology differentiator is a patent-pending built-in cable retractor system combined with pre-assembled/pre-commissioned units that enable 15-minute installation, OCPP 1.6J open-protocol compatibility (supporting AmpUp, EV Connect, SkyCharger, EV+, Evoke, RedE, and Wevo networks), and dual-port configurations; the portfolio is TUV Rheinland-certified (UL 2231-1/-2, UL 2594), ENERGY STAR-certified on dual-port models, EPRI-qualified for utility incentives, and Made-in-USA / BABA-compliant.
G9EV monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales via a direct enterprise sales force and website, supplemented by a 3-year standard warranty (claimed $595 value), a $1,920 extended 5-year warranty, replacement-parts sales, and a coast-to-coast certified Field Service Provider (FSP) network offering site surveys, installation, activation, and maintenance under its "ServiceBar" offering. Its served end markets are multi-family housing, commercial/workplace, hospitality and retail, educational institutions, and government/municipal customers, with named deployments including Catawba College, Providence College, Park New Haven, Windsor Club, and a 42-charger commercial parking-garage installation; the company states it operates in 40+ US states and is expanding into Canada. In 2023 it acquired the hardware designs, parts inventory, and manufacturing capability of JuiceBar (Gen 3), and in March 2026 it joined EV Buddy's Rent-a-Charger OEM program as a launch partner bundling a complimentary one-year EVChargeShare subscription with new units.

G9EV competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- ChargePoint: ChargePoint is the leading commercial Level 2 and DC fast charging network and hardware provider in North America. G9EV explicitly benchmarks its chargers against ChargePoint AC on its own website, and both companies sell OCPP-compliant commercial EVSEs into property managers, workplaces, and fleets.
- Blink Charging: Blink manufactures and operates Level 2 commercial chargers (including the HQ 200 model that G9EV directly compares against on its product page). Blink serves workplaces, multi-family, hospitality, and municipal customers — overlapping directly with G9EV's primary verticals.
- Flo (AddÉnergie): Flo manufactures commercial Level 2 chargers including the CoRe+ model referenced on G9EV's website. Flo serves multi-family, workplace, and public-sector customers across North America with OCPP-compliant hardware and is one of G9EV's most direct commercial-L2 competitors.
- Wallbox: Wallbox designs and manufactures Level 2 EV chargers (Pulsar Plus, Commander 2) and is expanding into commercial deployments. Wallbox competes with G9EV in the design-conscious, network-agnostic commercial Level 2 segment with OCPP support.
- SemaConnect: SemaConnect (now part of Blink) sells commercial Level 2 EV charging stations to workplaces, multifamily, and hospitality customers across North America. The Series 6 and Series 7 stations overlap directly with G9EV's Legacy and Firefly product lines in target use case and customer profile.
Broad incumbents
- ABB E-mobility: ABB E-mobility is a broad incumbent offering AC and DC EV charging hardware, software, and services globally. While ABB is more concentrated in DC fast, it competes in commercial Level 2 as part of a wider portfolio and serves many of the same municipal, utility, and enterprise accounts that G9EV targets.
- EVBox: EVBox is a European-rooted EV charging hardware and software provider (Level 2 and DC fast) now expanding in North America. EVBox competes with G9EV in commercial Level 2 deployments and is part of the broader OCPP-based competitive set.
- Webasto Charging Systems: Webasto is a Tier-1 automotive supplier with a US-focused EV charging division offering commercial Level 2 chargers. Webasto overlaps with G9EV in workplace and fleet charging and competes for OEM and commercial-fleet relationships.
Emerging players
- Enphase Energy: Enphase entered the EV charging market with the IQ EV Charger, a bidirectional Level 2 charger sold primarily into residential and small-commercial solar-plus-storage customers. While mostly residential, Enphase's commercial ambitions overlap with G9EV in workplace and multifamily segments.
Others
- Tesla (Tesla Wall Connector for non-Tesla): Tesla's Wall Connector is sold for non-Tesla EV charging and is increasingly specified in commercial real estate and multifamily deployments. While not a direct L2-only competitor, Tesla's brand pull and pricing compete for the same commercial accounts G9EV targets.
