About The EV Button 

The EV Button approaches transportation electrification with a novel strategy: we focus on leveraging underutilized infrastructure as deployment locations for charging hubs. By taking advantage of on-site utility-scale power assets, parking and high-value real estate in coveted locations, we make going electric faster and significantly more affordable for fleets, while creating new revenue streams for property owners. Our multi-stakeholder model has attracted support from some of the largest national mobility leaders, property ownership groups, and state and local governments. A recent example: our project at UBS Arena, home to the NHL’s New York Islanders, was recently named a finalist for Clean Transportation Prizes in New York. Our goal: realize the electric future for transportation, today.
