EVIA is built to drive the EV movement forward
The EVIA team has been directly responsible for the deployment of hundreds of EV chargers at over 250 locations across America. We are electric vehicle pioneers, the first to roll out 480V DC fast charger networks (80% charge in under 30 minutes) in new markets. We executed innovative infrastructure programs for leading automakers, such as Nissan No Charge To Charge and BMW Charge Now. Our team collaborated successfully with some of the largest and most environmentally progressive retailers and REITs in the world.
