XLR8 America’s Charging as a Service: A Game Changer for the EV Industry

In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) market, the need for fast, efficient, and accessible charging solutions is more critical than ever. One need only examine 2024 data.

Sales of all-electric vehicles and hybrid models reached 20% of all new car and truck sales in the U.S. for the first time in 2024, reported CNBC. Auto data firm Motor Intelligence reported sales of 1.9 million hybrid vehicles, including plug-in models, and 1.3 million all-electric models. Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles declined to 79.8%, falling under 80% for the first time in modern automotive history.

As the world shifts toward sustainable transportation, one company is taking bold strides to reshape the way we think about EV charging: XLR8 America. Their unique approach to Charging as a Service (CaaS) is setting new standards for convenience and accessibility in the EV ecosystem.

“The EV revolution isn’t coming; it’s here. We’re seeing unprecedented growth in EV adoption, and XLR8 America is committed to providing the charging infrastructure necessary to support this electrifying shift,” said Founder Frank O’Connor, CEO of XLR8 America.

Federal NEVI Funding on Hold, Private Funding Increasing

With federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program funding for installing EV charging on hold, charge point operators and property owners are looking for other solutions to get EV charging installed. XLR8 America’s CaaS is a perfect solution, since it does not rely on federal funding.

“With NEVI funding stalled, the private sector has a crucial role to play in accelerating EV charging infrastructure deployment. XLR8 America is leading the charge with our innovative CaaS model, enabling businesses to embrace EV charging without the traditional financial burdens,” O’Connor said.

The company’s unique approach to CaaS allows clients to get valuable EV charging installed on site with no up-front costs. Private investment is stepping up to fill the void left by the cut of NEVI funding. XLR8 America is the national leader in this regard, with a goal to install 30,000 EV charging ports across the US by 2027.

What is Charging as a Service (CaaS)?

CaaS is a business model that provides EV owners with seamless access to charging infrastructure without the typical hassles of ownership and maintenance. Unlike traditional models where individuals or businesses invest heavily in charging stations and bear the cost of upkeep, CaaS allows users to pay for charging services on a flexible, pay-per-use basis.

XLR8 America takes this concept to the next level by offering a comprehensive charging solution that not only benefits individual drivers but also businesses, municipalities, and fleet operators looking to meet the growing demand for EV charging.

O’Connor adds, “CaaS is more than just providing charging stations; it’s about delivering a complete, hassle-free charging experience. We handle everything from design, installation and maintenance to operation and revenue sharing, allowing our partners to focus on their core business.”

The Key Features of XLR8 America’s CaaS Model

Scalability and Flexibility: Whether you’re an owner of a single property with several chargers, or a large organization managing a portfolio of commercial properties or a fleet of vehicles, XLR8 America’s Charging as a Service model offers scalability and flexibility. Charging infrastructure can grow with your needs, and demand, ensuring that there’s always an accessible, high-speed charging station wherever customers and tenants need it.

No Upfront Costs: One of the biggest barriers to EV adoption is the high cost of installing charging infrastructure. With CaaS, for qualified sites, there’s no need for hefty investments. XLR8 America manages all design, installation, maintenance, and operational costs, making it easy for customers to provide charging stations without the upfront capital expense.

Reliable and Fast Charging: In an era where time is money, XLR8 America ensures that its network of charging stations provides quick and reliable service. Their stations are designed to deliver fast charging, quickly getting EVs back on the road.

Additionally, charging can be integrated into parking and building management systems to extend their value to internal billing, tenant services, and more for owners of office buildings and multi unit residential properties.

“Our smart technology platform is the backbone of our CaaS offering. Our software enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and seamless integration with existing systems, ensuring optimal performance and a superior user experience for parking operators and the EV drivers using their facilities,” said O’Connor.
