In response to the growing demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, XLR8 America has announced an ambitious goal: Install 30,000 EV charging ports across the U.S. by 2027.
Supported by key strategic partnerships, this initiative aims to expand EV infrastructure nationwide, focusing on commercial real estate and multi-unit dwelling parking lots, specialized EVSE applications and even underserved areas, such as Native American territories.
Working with our partners, XLR8 America is proud to announce the launch of a new eBook, The Ultimate EV Charging Solutions Installation Guide. This comprehensive guide provides valuable insights into planning, installing, and optimizing EV charging infrastructure, helping businesses and property owners navigate the complexities of electrification.
A Collaborative Approach to Electrification & EV Charging
XLR8 America is well-positioned to achieve its ambitious installation target, thanks to partnerships with Atom Power, DG Matrix, Kennedy Power Systems, EVoke Systems,Mavericks Microgrids, and other key players in the energy and technology sectors. This collaborative ecosystem will allow XLR8 to deploy cutting-edge EV charging solutions, integrating renewable energy, smart grid technology, and scalable charging infrastructure into a seamless network of charging stations to support the specific needs of a building or application.

Frank O’Connor, CEO emphasizes the importance of XLR8’s partnerships in facilitating EV infrastructure expansion:
“Our mission is to provide high-reliability EV charging infrastructure that supports the electrification movement and ensures our partners and customers are future-proof. By collaborating with industry leaders, we deliver scalable and sustainable solutions that meet the growing demand for EV charging across commercial properties, truck stops, and fleets.”
Powering Commercial Properties and Public Parking Spaces
XLR8 America has established a strong pipeline, working with commercial real estate firms, logistics operators, and municipalities to install charging stations in high-traffic areas. Current focus areas include EV charging solutions for commercial parking lots, mixed-use developments, and fleet management centers. The company’s new subsidiary, XLR8 Tribal Nations, further broadens this scope by providing electrification support to Native American communities.
Correlate, a portfolio-scale real estate platform, plays a crucial role in streamlining energy optimization for property owners. Their unique business model eliminates the friction between property managers and service providers, helping maximize the return on investment for EV infrastructure. Similarly, Mavericks Microgrids is working alongside XLR8 to enhance energy management at key EV charging hubs such as truck stops and fleet centers, integrating renewable energy solutions like solar and energy storage.
Michael Duhs, Executive Partner at Mavericks Microgrids, noted the significance of the partnership: “Our early joint collaborations with XLR8 America aim to blend smart energy management systems with cutting-edge EV charging technology. This alignment will help businesses and truck stops efficiently manage their energy usage while enhancing service reliability.”
Cutting-Edge Technology for a Cleaner Future
Innovation is central to XLR8 America’s strategy, with partners like Atom Power and DG Matrix delivering state-of-the-art technologies that enhance charging efficiency and grid integration. Atom Power’s solid-state circuit breaker technology, for example, enables XLR8 to centralize EV charging at the panel level, improving scalability, reliability, and security. The company’s Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers are at the forefront of energy management, offering businesses 24/7 monitoring and enhanced power management services.
Meanwhile, DG Matrix is revolutionizing the power electronics space with its Power Router technology, which seamlessly integrates multiple energy sources into a single compact unit. This breakthrough not only optimizes EV charging; it also enables grid independence and energy diversification for large-scale deployments.
DG Matrix provides technology for XLR8 America’s EV charging solutions that are both environmentally sustainable and highly efficient, contributing to the company’s vision of accelerating the path to electrification and decarbonization. Battery storage systems, along with solar or hydrogen generators, can be integrated with EV chargers to reduce costs by storing energy when it’s cheapest, and DG Matrix’s power router simplifies managing these diverse energy sources in a single, streamlined solution.
Reliable software is critical for managing EV charging networks, enabling real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and efficient energy management. It ensures that charging stations operate smoothly, reduces maintenance costs, and allows for seamless scalability as demand grows. The EVoke partnership enhances XLR8’s ability to offer EV Charging that integrates seamlessly into existing operations.
“By working with partners who understand advanced technology and know how to scale it effectively, we’re unlocking new possibilities for EV infrastructure across diverse markets,” added O’Connor.
Streamlined Installation and Maintenance
XLR8’s focus on simplifying the installation process is evident in its collaboration with Kennedy Power Systems, WB Moore, and Miller Electric. These partners bring decades of experience in delivering prefabricated, high-quality electrical systems designed for rapid deployment. By reducing onsite labor and minimizing installation times, these systems enable XLR8 to meet its ambitious targets more quickly and cost-effectively.
Kennedy Power Systems specializes in providing prefabricated power distribution skids, which come pre-assembled with transformers, breakers, and energy management systems. This design minimizes the complexities associated with traditional EV charger installations, allowing for faster project completion and lower overall costs. Miller Electric and WB Moore provide installation and maintenance services, ensuring the highest standards of efficiency, safety and performance, and ROI from energy investments.
To ensure timely repairs and maintenance for EV charging infrastructure, XLR8 America is setting up a reliable supply chain system that keeps essential spare parts readily available.
By centralizing inventory at major hubs like FedEx and UPS facilities, XLR8 can quickly dispatch replacement components and ensure they arrive on-site within eight hours, minimizing downtime. This approach, inspired by the IT industry’s maintenance model, allows us to keep EV chargers operational and reliable for our customers.
A Path to Growth and Sustainability
XLR8 America is experiencing rapid growth, with a business pipeline exceeding $400 million. The company’s focus on key market segments—such as commercial real estate, truck stops, and public sector projects—coupled with its commitment to using premium, reliable equipment, positions it as a leader in the EV charging space.
The company is also leveraging government incentives and financial support to accelerate the deployment of its infrastructure. Collaborations with INF Associates and NineDot Energy further enhance XLR8’s ability to secure federal and state funding, making EV infrastructure more accessible and affordable for its customers. This holistic approach ensures that XLR8 not only meets its own goals, but also contributes to the broader electrification movement in the U.S.
The Future of EV Charging is Here
While some companies exit the EV charging market due to failed strategies and financial struggles, XLR8 America stays committed to delivering what customers truly need rather than just pushing products. Understanding that decision-makers often lack experience in energy management, XLR8 takes a tailored approach, installing the minimum necessary infrastructure to ensure functionality while working to develop the right long-term solution.
XLR8 America’s commitment to providing innovative, reliable, and scalable EV charging solutions is more critical than ever. With the support of its partners, the company is on track to revolutionize the EV charging landscape, helping commercial property owners, fleet operators, and municipalities meet the growing demand for EV infrastructure.
