EVPassport, an EV charging network in the US, and Associa, a provider of community management services throughout North America, are partnering to provide next-generation electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at Associa-managed communities throughout the country.
Under the agreement, Associa will implement EVPassport’s infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform across its national portfolio of managed communities, delivering a reliable, frictionless charging experience to over five million residents.
“Our partnership with Associa helps close the demand gap for reliable EV charging and reaffirms our commitment to continued innovation, specifically in the areas of customer service and engagement,” said Hooman Shahidi, co-founder and CEO of EVPassport. “This is an exciting opportunity for EVPassport as we move into our next phase of growth and build the most reliable and easy-to-use charging network.”
With the new partnership, Associa-managed communities will have access to EVPassport’s innovative and reliable hardware, exclusive cloud-based software, and connected infrastructure technology through the EVPassport IaaS platform. With EVPassport, Associa-managed communities and the residents will experience prioritized customer experience through high reliability and a frictionless, app-less charging experience.
EVPassport provides an end-to-end EV charging solution for managed communities and properties that helps increase occupancy, strengthen tenant satisfaction and retention, and improve charging equity. The company uses a business model that allows for charging infrastructure to be installed under an IaaS model that provides the lowest cost of entry and a lucrative revenue share model to deliver managed communities with the fastest ROI.
“Investing in EV charging is becoming necessary for communities committed to upholding their property values, increasing their marketability, and perpetuating sustainability,” said Jason Salmonson, senior VP of integrated services at Associa. “We selected the EVPassport IaaS platform for its ability to provide an easy-to-use charging experience for our communities while delivering great economic value that helps advance community engagement while aligning with our ESG initiatives.”
In 2021, Associa founded Associa Green, an environmental initiative to help families live healthier, more sustainable lives.
Since EVPassport’s inception in 2020, the company has scaled its network to 35 states, as well as Canada and Mexico. It has deployed thousands of chargers while delivering 99.97% uptime. This news follows EVPassport’s accomplishment of raising $200 million to support the rapid growth of its IaaS platform.
