LAZ Parking and Epic Charging Partner to Deploy EV Charging Across 50,000 Parking Spaces

In a major step toward accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), LAZ Parking, the largest and fastest-growing privately owned parking operator in the U.S., has entered into a strategic development agreement with Epic Charging, a leader in EV charging software solutions. This partnership, announced on February 18, 2025, sets the stage for the nationwide deployment of Level 2 EV charging solutions across LAZ’s vast portfolio of parking facilities, aiming to electrify 50,000 parking spaces within the next five years.

“The future of parking is electric. Soon, every parking space will need to support EV charging, and our partnership with Epic Charging is a critical step toward making that vision a reality,” said Alan Lazowski, Chairman and CEO of LAZ Parking. “Electrifying 50,000 parking spaces is just the beginning—this is the foundation for a much larger transformation that will redefine the role of parking in the mobility ecosystem.”

LAZ Parking and Epic Charging are collaborating to meet this demand by integrating Epic’s cutting-edge Charging Station Management System (CSMS) into LAZ’s network of parking locations, ranging from commercial properties to airports and municipal lots.

This partnership designates Epic Charging as LAZ’s preferred software partner for Level 2 electrification projects. By offering consistent and high-quality EV charging solutions across various parking environments, they are ensuring drivers have access to reliable, easy-to-use stations in locations where they need them most. Whether it’s a hotel, mixed-use property, or surface lot, the rollout of these EV chargers will bring a sustainable solution to parking management nationwide.

Michael Bakunin, CEO of Epic Charging, said: “This collaboration marks a major milestone in the transition to widespread EV adoption. By combining LAZ Parking’s expansive real estate footprint with Epic’s industry-leading software, we are creating a scalable, future-proof solution that will make EV charging more accessible and reliable for drivers across the country.”

Streamlining Operations and Maximizing Revenue

The integration of Epic’s CSMS into LAZ’s operations brings much more than just improved charging infrastructure—it transforms the overall management of parking facilities. By optimizing smart charging schedules and enabling remote monitoring, LAZ can reduce maintenance costs, improve energy efficiency, and ensure that the charging stations are consistently available for drivers.

Real-time analytics, powered by Epic’s platform, will provide valuable insights into usage patterns, enabling LAZ to adjust its charging offerings to meet demand more effectively. This data also opens up opportunities to enhance customer service, tailor marketing strategies, and streamline payment processing, ensuring a seamless experience for both EV drivers and parking operators. Furthermore, by combining charging and parking services, LAZ can create a new stream of revenue, bolstering the profitability of its parking facilities.

Epic Transfers over 2,000 Enel X Way Chargers Across the US

In October, Enel X Way suddenly shut down North American operations, losing Juicebox home EV charger customers and commercial customers stranded. The decision to close operations in North America highlights the challenges Enel X Way faced in the region, citing a difficult financial environment as the primary reason for the abrupt exit. This left customers without support, updates, or access to the app-based functionality they relied on for convenience.

Epic Charging is proud to be at the forefront of the solution to the Enel X Way shutdown, having successfully transferred over 2,000 Enel X Way chargers nationwide and receiving consistently positive feedback from cities, counties, and other local governments.

A recent example comes from a municipality in North Carolina, where the transition from Juicebox to Epic’s EV charger software was described as effortless. The municipality praised Epic’s exceptional customer support and expressed satisfaction with the experience, even wishing they had started working with Epic sooner. These kinds of positive reviews reflect the company’s dedication to providing a smooth and efficient migration process for all clients.

As many municipalities face the challenges posed by the Enel X Way shutdown, Epic Charging is stepping up to help fill the gap. With their robust and user-friendly software, Epic ensures that municipalities can continue to serve their communities without disruption. By offering solutions that minimize downtime and optimize service, Epic is proving to be a vital partner for local governments seeking to maintain and expand their EV infrastructure.

Commercial site hosts across North America have faced significant market uncertainty following the recent shutdowns of Enel X Way, Shell Sky software, and EVBox. These disruptions have left thousands of customers without a clear path forward for continuing operations with the equipment they’ve already invested in. As a result, fleet operators, municipalities, and commercial EV charging station owners are seeking reliable solutions to maintain their charging infrastructure.

Epic Charging stands ready to assist. The company’s Epic Software Transfer commitment offers a seamless transition for those affected by these shutdowns, ensuring that operations continue without interruption. By choosing Epic Charging, site hosts can rest assured that their equipment will be supported by a powerful and user-friendly software solution that is designed to optimize both performance and user experience.

The company uses equipment from only the highest quality EV charging manufacturers, as evidenced by listing Autel Energy’s excellent systems on its website. The Autel MaxiCharger DC HiPower and the Autel MaxiCharger DC All-in-One Charger DH240/DH480 were some of the powerful and reliable models listed. EVinfo.net recently had the great pleasure and honor of interviewing Dario Pagani, Director Marketing and Communications, Autel Energy North America.

Pagani said: “At the recent CES in January, we introduced the MaxiCharger DC All-in-One, which can deliver up to 480 kW and charge four vehicles at the same time. This is a game-changer for any site looking for the highest power in a small footprint.”
