It's Electric has been named as one of the products that will define technological innovation for the rest of this decade and beyond.

We are a public charging solution to address the infrastructural and environmental justice barriers cities face in the deployment of electric vehicle charging. Instead of requiring costly and time consuming new utility connections, It's Electric’s Level-2 charging posts connect behind-the-meter to draw spare electrical supply from adjacent buildings; allowing them to install at zero cost to property owners or cities. It's Electric then shares revenue earned at each charger with the property owners, bringing clean transportation infrastructure and the benefits of the green economy into all neighborhoods. With a critical focus on frontline and disadvantaged communities. It’s eEectric is bringing affordable, equitable, curbside, EV charging to the millions of city drivers across the United States who cannot charge at home as they park their cars on the street.

In return for hosting an It’s Electric charger, property partners receive approximately 20% of the charger’s top-line revenue, creating a new passive income stream for them while making it easier for everyone in their community to charge an EV.

The two leading barriers for EV adoption in the US are the cost of EVs and directly after that access to charging. It is our model of providing free chargers that revenue share back to communities that closes the gap for the current disparities in where charging can be found. With revenue sharing for property partners, plentiful access for (current and future) EV owners, and virtually no impact on municipal budgets: It’s Electric is a win for everyone.

It is our cities-first model that allowed us to beat industry leader Tesla to lead the City of Boston’s EV charging network, and begin deployments across 8 US cities.
