This partnership will bring Chargie's turnkey EV charging services to educational institutions across California, including community colleges, state universities, and K-12 schools, through purchasing programs like SchoolBuys, CivicBuys, and CollegeBuys.
The agreement enables institutions to access preferred pricing and a streamlined procurement process for essential EV charging infrastructure. Chargie offers comprehensive services, including site assessments, design, installation, and 24/7 monitoring and support. The company will also help schools secure rebates, incentives, and grant funding for these projects. Over the next five years, California community colleges are expected to spend US$60m on EV charging infrastructure.
Chargie currently serves several local education partners, including the Moreno Valley Unified School District and California State University – Northridge, where it operates over 90 charging stations. The company also supports schools with educational programs, networking events, and internships for students pursuing careers in cleantech.
