Eaton and Charge Enterprises (“Charge”), through its portfolio company, Charge Infrastructure, have begun a strategic collaboration to fast-track electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure deployment for fleets and car dealers.

With the U.S. aiming for EVs to make up 50% of all vehicle sales by 2030 and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) providing tax credits up to $40,000 for commercial vehicles, access to convenient, reliable and affordable EV fleet charging is essential, the companies say. Eaton and Charge say they are providing complete EV charging infrastructure for fleet electrification, including projects incorporating renewables and enabling net-zero models.
