Dealership EV charging, without the complexity.
EVready® Energy designs, installs, and manages EV charging built to meet your OEM requirements and keep demand charges under control — one partner, end to end.
OEM-certified by Tesla, BMW, and Volvo to manage EV energy costs
Three of the most EV-forward franchise brands in the U.S. trust EVready for installation and energy management. That covers a huge share of dealerships under active OEM charging mandates.
Here's the call we get more than any other: a dealership GM, 90 days after install, wanting to know why their electric bill just doubled. The chargers are working fine. The OEM is happy. But no one told them that four DC fast chargers — even sitting idle most of the day — would spike their demand peak high enough to add $3,000–$8,000 a month in utility fees.
That's the demand charge problem. Most installers don't warn you about it because they're not accountable for your operating costs — only your build cost. We are. That's why every EVready dealership engagement includes energy planning before the first wire is pulled, and Energy Guardian after the last one is.
EVready has completed roughly a dozen dealership builds in Canada and serves franchised dealerships across the US — from single-point operators to regional groups.
Built for the way dealerships actually operate
You need chargers that satisfy the manufacturer, don't blow up the power bill, and don't become your team's second job. That's the whole point of working with a specialist.
OEM-compliant by design
Tesla, ChargePoint, and brand-specific dealership mandates handled correctly the first time — no failed inspections, no rework.
Demand charges, controlled
The hidden cost of charging is your peak load. Smart load management and energy software keep it down — often tens of thousands saved a year.
One turnkey partner
Strategy, design, permitting, installation, and ongoing management under one roof. Electrification, simplified.
Incentives mapped for you
We identify the federal Section 30C credit plus state and utility programs your site qualifies for, so the net cost lands well below sticker.
From first call to charged-and-managed
Assess
We review your site, OEM requirements, utility tariff, and goals on a short strategy call.
Design
Charger mix, electrical capacity, load plan, and incentive stack — engineered to spec and permitted.
Install
Certified installation managed end to end, coordinated around your operations.
Manage
Energy management software keeps uptime high and demand charges low, long after go-live.

From ChargePoint CEOs to dealer council presidents — the people who know EV charging best recommend EVready.
The EVready team was born from years of leadership in the center of the industry at ChargePoint in Automotive and Specifications. Charging is often oversimplified to a charging quote or an installation. EVready’s focus is on all of the components around installation and charging procurement that drive core business and total cost of ownership that is often missed in major rollouts. I would highly recommend EVready for a nation-wide or portfolio investment in charging.
Justin is a leader in the e-mobility business and has been for many years. He understands the landscape of infrastructure, investment, utility engagement, construction and planning, and the best way to take advantage of assets that deliver value in an EV infrastructure. He is a great leader and a thoughtful architect of e-mobility.
EVready is well suited to assist customers in thinking through the complexities when deciding how to blend rate structures, on-site storage, charging policy and technology selection, site planning, etc. I continue to be heartened by the entrepreneurial spirit of EVready. I expect great things to come.
Through working with Chris, we are excited to be opening up one of the most advanced public charging sites in southern Florida. I highly recommend reaching out to Chris at the beginning of your charging project to maximize his value, lower your total cost of ownership, and drive the best charging experience that will drive your brand’s reputation.
Chris brings with him an impressive background helping dealers understand the challenges associated with the growth of EV sales, and the infrastructure necessary to support their businesses. His knowledge in the EV infrastructure space is impressive and rooted in years of research and practical experience.
EVready uses a comprehensive approach to charging and energy usage at each site. They show great care to ensure solutions fit each store and geography, bring deep knowledge of funding and incentives, and their technical expertise across charger types gives us peace of mind. I especially appreciate their honesty in such a fluid industry.
EVready Simplify brings significant value to our business across the board. Playbook really exposed all of the opportunities to reconfigure our operation to reduce costs and problems. The Guardian software enables us to take advantage of these opportunities and Manage takes it all off of our plate so we can focus on our core business. And maybe most importantly, the EVready Energy team is there providing friendly, expert guidance every step of the way.
Let's map your dealership's charging plan
A 30-minute strategy call gets you a clear picture of costs, incentives, OEM compliance, and timeline — no obligation.
Schedule an EV charging strategy call →Installing the chargers is only half the equation.
The other half is the utility bill — and it's where charging projects quietly get expensive. Demand charges (what the utility bills you for your highest spike of power, not how much energy you use) can be the single largest line item on a charging site's monthly statement.
Energy Guardian measures, manages, and monetizes your charging load so peak demand — and the bill behind it — stays under control. It's the difference between chargers that cost you every month and chargers that pay their own way.
