VIENNA, Va. — Energy technology firm Everged and electrical contractor Georgia Green Energy have announced a strategic partnership to deploy hundreds of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Georgia. By integrating Everged’s hardware and software platform with Georgia Green Energy’s site development expertise, the collaboration provides a cohesive strategy to overcome the technical and financial hurdles that often stall commercial EV charging infrastructure deployment.
As EV adoption accelerates, the partnership seeks to resolve the complexities of cross-stakeholder coordination, regulatory environments, and funding structures. The initiative targets high-traffic public locations, such as mixed-use retail destinations and multi-unit residential properties, to ensure that expanded access to high-performance charging coincides with long-term system profitability.
Streamlining Infrastructure Growth and Performance
Deploying a reliable network requires more than just hardware; it necessitates an end-to-end solution for deployment and ongoing maintenance. This partnership addresses a common industry challenge—inconsistent charger performance due to fragmented ownership—by aligning financial incentives with operational accountability.
The models introduced ensure that the parties best equipped to maintain and optimize the hardware are directly incentivized to do so. This approach transforms electric vehicle charging stations from simple amenities into revenue-generating energy assets that create long-term value for site hosts and drivers alike.
Scalable Deployment Models: Flexibility for Site Hosts
The partnership introduces two distinct models that allow commercial property owners to offer EV charging as a high-value amenity without traditional operational burdens.
1. CapEx Equipment Financing Model
Under this model, Georgia Green Energy leases EV charging hardware through Everged. This structure enables rapid deployment with reduced upfront capital requirements while allowing the contractor to maintain ownership and operational control. Consequently, Georgia Green Energy can generate recurring revenue through charger utilization and long-term asset management.
2. Owner-Operator Model
In this turnkey model, Everged initially owns and operates the chargers, assuming upfront investment and operational responsibility. Once investment costs are recovered, operational responsibilities and increased revenue opportunities transition to Georgia Green Energy. This model is designed to eliminate barriers for site hosts by providing EV charging as an amenity with no upfront capital or ongoing operational burden.
Strategic Impact on Georgia’s Commercial Sector
By focusing on retail destinations and multi-unit dwellings, the partnership addresses a critical need for accessible charging in high-traffic corridors. These sites are essential for drivers who lack home-charging access and for businesses looking to increase property value.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Georgia Green Energy,” said Jefferson Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Everged. “Not only are they a world-class contracting firm, but they also share our unrelenting commitment to approaching the industry with a fresh mindset, delivering a fantastic experience for both our site hosts and EV drivers.”
Gavin Ireland, Chief Executive Officer for Georgia Green Energy, emphasized that infrastructure is now a present-day necessity. “We’re not just installing chargers—we’re building revenue-generating energy assets that create long-term value for site hosts, drivers, and the communities we serve.”
Industry Outlook and Deployment Pipeline
This partnership marks a shift in the EV charging landscape toward high-performance clean energy infrastructure that prioritizes uptime. By removing the financial barriers to entry, Everged and Georgia Green Energy are creating a blueprint for how charging networks can be scaled across the Southeast.
Commercial property owners, developers, and municipalities are encouraged to begin site evaluations for the initial deployment pipeline.
