Curbside EV Charging Networks

It’s Electric is expanding urban EV access in Philadelphia through a curbside charging network designed for cities where many residents lack private parking. By drawing power from existing buildings and utility poles, the system avoids costly grid upgrades and long interconnection timelines, enabling faster rollout across dense neighborhoods. This flexible approach allows chargers to be installed directly on streets, making EV ownership more practical for renters and rideshare drivers.

This model lowers infrastructure costs while accelerating deployment at scale, creating opportunities for cities to meet electrification goals more efficiently. Prioritizing underserved areas also opens access to new user segments, supporting broader adoption and increasing utilization rates. For municipalities and partners, the approach offers a pathway to expand charging networks without major capital investment, reflecting a shift toward more distributed, accessible solutions in urban transportation infrastructure.
