The bill that blindsides EV charging sites isn't what you think. EVready helps organizations control demand charges before they spiral.

EVready® Energy is a turnkey EV charging partner: charging strategy and site assessment, certified installation, and ongoing energy management through our Energy Guardian platform — for commercial and public-sector organizations nationwide.

Auto dealerships, commercial fleets, multifamily properties, and parking operators, plus public-sector buyers — government, education, and nonprofits — through our Sourcewell cooperative contract.

Our Energy Guardian platform targets demand charges — the peak-load fees that drive most commercial bills — through smart charging and peak shaving, reducing what you pay to run your chargers for years after install.

Yes — EVready provides EV charging strategy, certified installation, and energy management across the United States, from our base in Boston's Seaport.

A demand charge is a fee your utility bills based on your single highest 15-minute interval of power draw in a billing period — not on how much energy you actually use. A DC fast charger can set a high demand peak even if it's only used occasionally, because it draws 50–150 kW the moment it starts a session. One spike sets the charge for the entire month. EV chargers don't create demand charges — they amplify the ones you already had. Learn more on our demand charges explained page.

Most commercial EV charging projects combine Level 2 ports (around $4,000–$8,000 each installed) with DC fast chargers ($55,000–$140,000+ depending on power level and electrical work required). The single most variable factor is the electrical infrastructure: if your site needs a panel upgrade, new service from the utility, or trenching, that can add $20,000–$60,000 or more to a project. The federal Section 30C credit covers up to 30% of qualified costs (capped at $100,000 per charger). Use our cost calculator for a ballpark, or book a strategy call for a site-specific estimate.

Energy Guardian monitors your site's power draw in real time and actively shapes charging load to prevent demand spikes. When multiple chargers are running simultaneously — or when a charger starts during a high-load period at your building — Guardian throttles or queues the charge session to keep your peak below a threshold. The result is a lower demand charge on your monthly utility bill. On real EVready-managed sites, that has meant hundreds to thousands of dollars saved per 30-day period.

Yes. Energy Guardian is network-agnostic — it manages energy costs regardless of charger brand. Sites in EVready's portfolio run ChargePoint and Blink hardware. You don't need to replace equipment to start saving on demand charges.

The primary federal incentive is the Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit — up to 30% of qualified costs, capped at $100,000 per charger for commercial properties. Beyond 30C, most utilities offer make-ready programs that cover electrical infrastructure costs ($5,000–$50,000+ depending on territory and program). State rebates in California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Colorado can add another $2,500–$10,000+ per port. Public-sector buyers access the IRA's elective pay provision, which delivers 30C value as a direct payment even to tax-exempt entities. EVready maps every applicable incentive as part of the strategy process.
