Two US EV Charging Firms Hook Up To Scale Up

For all the glooming and dooming over the abrupt shift in federal EV policy here in the US, there sure is a lot of action happening in the EV charging space. Now, why should that be? Seriously, why? If EV sales in the US are destined to stagnate or even decline, why are charging station stakeholders racing to scale up like there’s no tomorrow? Maybe that’s because there is a tomorrow. After all, US presidents come and go….

US Presidents Come And Go, EV Charging Edition

US presidents do come and go on a regular basis, as I’ve been reminding everyone here and there over the past six months (here’s another example). I’m not the only one to take note of that phenomenon, and that explains why EV charging stakeholders continue to barrel full speed ahead into the zero-emission mobility scenario of the future.

Don’t just take my word for it. Blake Jessen, VP of North America for the leading global EV charging and energy management software firm Driivz, kindly provided these insights to CleanTechnica by email:

“Administrations come and go. EVs are here to stay. There were record-breaking levels of new EV sales in the first half of 2025 in the US. Studies also show that when drivers switch to electric vehicles, they rarely go back. The transition to EVs is on a sustainable projection in the US.

“We are seeing positive activity now more than ever. New charging hubs are breaking ground and new infrastructure is being built, driven by pioneers in the industry, such as our partner, Greenspot. The transition in the US is on course despite policy shifts.”

Driivz & Greenspot Hook Up On EV Charging

Driivz’s relationship with Greenspot is a new development, announced earlier today. Driivz already has a footprint in almost three dozen countries, with A-list partnerships in its pocket, including EVgo, Shell, Circle K, Volvo Group, Recharge, St1, ESB, Mer, Francis Energy, Ennet Corporation, and eMobility Power. The new partnership with Greenspot will add thousands of EV chargers to the company’s roster.

“The Driivz platform currently manages over 150,000 public chargers (hundreds of thousands in roaming) and hundreds of millions of events for millions of EV drivers in North America, Europe and APAC,” Driivz says of itself.

Pushing The EV Charging Envelope … And EV Sales, Too

Greenspot is new to the pages of CleanTechnica, so we have some catching up to do. Greenspot bills itself as “an award-winning charging network operator that specializes in developing, installing and managing EV charging infrastructure for diverse commercial, residential and public sector clients.” The startup launched in 2014 and it has been flying under the radar in important but lesser-known US markets like its home base of Jersey City, New Jersey, as well as Boston and elsewhere.

Greenspot comes under the umbrella of the leading New Jersey real estate developer Shuster Companies, which is part of the conglomerate Shuster Group. That connection is interesting because it is part of a movement among other leading real estate developers to unlock a notorious EV sale bottleneck.

Surveys show that most EV drivers prefer to charge up at home, but millions of prospective EV buyers can’t charge at home because they live in multi-family residences. Similarly, non-residential properties have also resisted the EV charging movement. Property owners and managers don’t want to pay up front to install EV chargers and deal with the hassles of upkeep, and tenants aren’t about to shell out their own money.

A solution is at hand, in the form of end-to-end EV charging services. Also called CaaS for charging-as-a-service, this industry deploys a subscription model to take care of everything property managers don’t want to deal with.

“Greenspot offers a comprehensive range of services, from site identification and permitting to maintenance and 24/7 customer support,” Greenspot explains. “Once locations are identified, Greenspot covers the cost of everything needed to develop, furnish, install, operate, market, maintain, upgrade, and expand EV charging infrastructure.”

What Is This Driivz Of Which You Speak?

Rapid scaleup is the name of the game and Greenspot expects the partnership with Driivz to accelerate its global expansion. “Driivz’s software supports more than 2,000 types of chargers and will allow Greenspot to easily integrate the platform onto new charging equipment as well as deploying across the thousands of legacy chargers located at Greenspot’s international site hosts,” Greenspot notes. The Driivz platform includes 24/7 monitoring to maximize charger uptime, along with a power consumption matrix to cut costs.

Driivz is another new face in the CleanTechnica window. Like Greenspot, it is not a standalone venture. Headquartered in North Carolina, Driivz is part of Vontier Corporation, a sprawling, multi-tasking, deep-pocketed software/hardware conglomerate with an eye on the EV charging market.

“Our systems and software help make convenience stores, car washes, EV charging stations, and fleets smarter and more productive,” Vontier explains. “Our comprehensive environmental, fueling, and energy-management solutions are forging a multi-energy path to global decarbonization.”
