Meet the EVSTAR team at CES 2026, January 7–9, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada

CES 2026 will return to the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 6 through January 9, bringing together the global technology ecosystem for the year’s most influential innovation showcase. Recognized as the leading international technology conference, CES convenes startups, scale-ups, and established industry leaders spanning artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous systems, IoT, health technology, advanced mobility, and electrification.

Beyond its consumer technology roots, CES has become a critical forum for enterprise and industrial solutions. The event features a growing focus on electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and sustainable mobility technologies, making it a central gathering point for organizations shaping the future of transportation and energy.

EVSTAR’s Comprehensive, Insurance-Backed EV Charger Warranty Protection

The EVSTAR team will be hosting meetings to discuss partnerships throughout CES (January 7-9 only, not the 6th.) See below for more.

EVSTAR provides comprehensive, insurance-backed warranty protection designed to keep EV chargers operating reliably wherever they are deployed. As EV charging becomes mission-critical for fleets, property owners, network operators, and public charging providers, EVSTAR delivers confidence through warranty programs that minimize downtime, control costs, and ensure continuity of service.

The company serves a broad range of stakeholders across the EV ecosystem. OEMs benefit from the ability to recognize warranty revenue at the point of sale, while resellers gain protection from market volatility and a new margin-enhancing offering. Charge point operators and network operators can mitigate operational risk across large, distributed deployments, preserving uptime and revenue streams.

Distributors reduce exposure compared to self-underwritten warranties, fleet operators eliminate unexpected repair and replacement expenses, and infrastructure developers de-risk projects while strengthening competitive positioning in RFPs. Service providers also benefit from clearer financial responsibility when equipment failures occur, reducing disputes and delays.

EVSTAR stands apart as the only provider offering a fully underwritten EV charger warranty in the industry. Unlike self-insured or limited manufacturer warranties, EVSTAR’s approach removes financial uncertainty and transfers risk off of partners’ balance sheets, delivering long-term stability in a rapidly evolving market.

Their solutions are designed to simplify ownership and operations. The Comprehensive Protection Plan covers mechanical and electrical failures, accidental damage, power surges, parts, and labor, with EVSTAR managing the entire process from claim through repair or replacement.

The OEM Warranty Backstop allows EVSTAR to assume risk for an OEM’s standard warranty program through full workflow integration and a 100 percent attach rate. For organizations that previously sold self-backed warranties, EVSTAR’s Existing Liability Transfer product takes over those obligations and eliminates ongoing exposure.

By transforming warranty coverage into a strategic asset, EVSTAR helps partners increase margins, reduce risk, improve uptime, and build lasting customer trust. Through predictable protection and streamlined execution, EVSTAR turns warranty management from a liability into a competitive advantage.

HOEVAN,, the Parent Company of EVSTAR, Recently Closed a $3 Million Series B Funding Round

HOEVAN, the parent company of EVSTAR, has recently closed a $3 million Series B funding round backed by existing investors to support expansion across its renewable energy and EV charging protection portfolio. The investment will be used to scale operations, strengthen teams through strategic hiring, expand internationally with new and existing partners, and extend product offerings to cover additional services, maintenance, and remote monitoring.

“We are excited and appreciative that our existing investors continue to have confidence in our ability to execute on our vision,” said Andrew Hoehner, CEO of HOEVAN. “HOEVAN has demonstrated that our go-to-market strategy, solutions, and financial model deliver real results for our partners. Partners all find that our flexible, innovative approach to overdelivering is a perfect market fit.”

EVSTAR Partners With OpConnect

The EVSTAR team welcomed OpConnect as an official EVSTAR partner recently. Based in Portland, Oregon, OpConnect, Inc. is a leading provider of EV charging solutions for fleet operators. Since 2016, the company has supported the transition to electric mobility through dependable and flexible charging hardware, advanced charger management software, and a strong customer-focused support model. OpConnect delivers turnkey charging solutions for fleets, property owners, and workplace environments, helping organizations move toward cleaner and more efficient transportation.

Through this partnership, EVSTAR and OpConnect are working together to broaden access to dependable EV charging while ensuring charging systems remain protected, well-supported, and prepared to meet future demand.

Dynachrg Chargers Will Now Come With a 5-Year Comprehensive Protection Plan

EVSTAR has teamed up with DynaChrg to enhance the reliability and lifespan of their charging hardware. Through this partnership, all DynaChrg chargers will now include a 5-year comprehensive protection plan covering both parts and labor, giving site hosts and operators greater peace of mind and long-term security. Together, EVSTAR and DynaChrg are dedicated to providing durable, high-performance EV charging solutions that businesses and communities can trust.

Why Comprehensive, Insurance-Backed Protection Like EVSTAR’s Is Critical for EV Charging Infrastructure

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, reliable charging infrastructure has become a cornerstone of the EV ecosystem. For property owners, fleets, network operators, and public charging providers, the stakes are high: downtime, equipment failure, or unexpected repair costs can undermine operations, frustrate customers, and erode trust. This is where comprehensive, insurance-backed continuous protection, such as that offered by EVSTAR, becomes essential.

EV charging stations are complex systems that combine hardware, software, and connectivity. While modern chargers are built to high standards, mechanical or electrical failures, power surges, accidental damage, and network connectivity issues remain inevitable over time. Without a robust protection plan, these events can result in costly out-of-pocket repairs, prolonged downtime, and lost revenue. EVSTAR’s solutions cover every step of the process—from claims management to repair or replacement—ensuring stations are restored quickly and efficiently.

Insurance-backed protection also transfers risk from the operator to a financially secure provider. Self-insured or limited manufacturer warranties can leave property owners and operators exposed to fluctuating repair costs, supply chain delays, or prolonged equipment downtime. EVSTAR’s underwritten warranty model mitigates these risks, providing confidence that equipment will perform reliably over its lifecycle.

Beyond risk mitigation, comprehensive coverage fosters long-term customer trust. EV drivers expect chargers to be available and functional whenever they arrive. A consistent, predictable charging experience supports adoption, strengthens brand reputation, and encourages repeat usage. For operators, it also simplifies financial planning, enabling accurate forecasting of operational expenses and supporting scalable deployment strategies.

As EV charging networks continue to expand, the role of continuous, insurance-backed protection becomes even more critical. Solutions like EVSTAR’s not only safeguard infrastructure but also accelerate EV adoption by ensuring reliability, reducing risk, and empowering operators to focus on growth rather than reactive maintenance.

Comprehensive protection goes beyond coverage. It’s an investment in reliability, efficiency, and the future of electrified transportation.
