Today there are over half a million electric vehicles, or EVs, on US roads, and that number continues to grow exponentially. However, there are only 15 thousand publicly available EV chargers, and that number is not seeing nearly the same growth. The reasons for this deficit are 1) the high cost of infrastructure and installation, and 2) the minimal returns of managing chargers. TEQ Charging, or The Electric Queue is here to change that. First, with our cloud-based power management platform, we give much less expensive ‘dumb’ chargers smart functionality. Second, we allow more cars to plug in than there is available power to serve, queuing the power from one car to the next throughout the day, optimized based on requested departure time. This results in a 4-6x increase in the number of cars charged per day without having to pay potentially hundreds of thousands to expand panel space. For the drivers, this means no more missed events because the person in front of them didn’t move their car on time. For the properties, this means they can turn what previously would have been a cost center into a revenue generating hub.

EV2X is the operating system for the Virtual Power Plant. We help commercial property owners, utilities, and energy partners unlock the full value of EV charging by intelligently orchestrating EVs, chargers, buildings, solar, storage, and the grid—all through a vendor-agnostic, standards-based software platform. As EV adoption accelerates, unmanaged charging strains electrical infrastructure and limits scale. EV2X solves this by transforming Level 2 destination charging into a grid-aware, revenue-generating energy asset—without costly panel upgrades or proprietary hardware lock-in. Our platform enables properties to deploy exponentially more chargers than their electrical panels were originally designed for, while maintaining reliability, reducing energy costs, and opening the door to bi-directional energy services and Virtual Power Plant participation. Built on open standards including OCPP 2.0.1+, OpenADR, and ISO 15118, EV2X integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and evolves alongside the grid. EV2X is where eMobility meets Buildings meets Energy.
